23 year-old American Tyler Farrar confirmed his comeback from a fractured kneecap with a sprint win in stage two of the GP Internacional CTT Correios in Portugal. The Cofidis rider took a closely contested sprint from Barloworld's Robbie Hunter with a well-timed bike throw, and gains not only the stage win but the overall classification, the points classification and the lead in the best young rider competition as well.
