American Levi Leipheimer took his Tour of California-winning form to Spain and demolished the competition in the stage two time trial in Palencia. The Astana rider completed the 28.2-kilometre test in 33:17 to take the overall lead ahead of his teammate and defending champion Alberto Contador. The Spaniard was second fastest with 33:35, while American David Zabriskie (Garmin-Slipstream) took third, four seconds slower.
The morning's leader, Joaquin Sobrino (Burgos Monumental - Castilla y Leon) was no match for the GC contenders and waved goodbye to the leader's jersey.
