Switzerland's Michael Albasini won the second stage of the Tour ofSwitzerland on Thursday to also earn the overall race leader's jersey.The Orica GreenEDGE rider outsprinted Frenchman Tony Hurel and Italy's GiacomoNizzolo at the end of a 166.5km stage from Sion to Montreux.Poland's Michal Kwiatkowski had begun the day in the leader's yellow jersey but lostout to Albasini due to time bonuses on the finishing line.Albasini, 33, had also won Wednesday's first stage in another mass bunch sprint andthe 20 seconds he gained in winning those two stages have now given him a 5seclead over OPQS's Kwiatkowski in the standings, with Lithuania's Ramunas Navardauskas third a further 5sec back.The Swiss rider's victory continued Australian outfit Orica's recent good form afterSimon Gerrans won Sunday's Liege-Bastogne-Liege race."I didn't think I'd do this today but my team worked very hard, even though I wasn'tfeeling very good during the stage," Albasini told Swiss television station RTS. "I got lucky at the end, I picked a good wheel to follow which gave me a good lead-out."It was more of a sprint today. I wasn't thinking about taking the yellow jersey butsometimes that happens and I'm delighted."Kwiatkowski, who was fifth in Montreux, has also maintained his good form sincethe Ardennes Classics -- he was fifth at the Amstel Gold Race and third in both theFleche Wallonne and Liege-Bastogne-Liege -- winning Tuesday's opening prologue. Friday's third stage takes the peloton over 180km from Le Bouveret to Aigle withfour brutal first category climbs along the way.Tour de France champion Chris Froome, 10th on Thursday's stage, is currently ninthoverall at 19sec but will be hoping to test his legs in the mountains on Friday aftera difficult last month blighted by injury and illness.
