Lakata takes stage win while Platt defends yellow jersey

After an exciting stage between Balingen and Albstadt, Alban Lakata (Topeak Ergon) took the victory on second day of Sparkasse Trans Zollernalb. He won the sprint out of a three-man lead group in front of Karl Platt (Team Bulls) and Alexandre Moos (BMC). Platt took two seconds in a bonus sprint and now leads by this two seconds over Lakata and five seconds over Moos. In the women's competition, Ann-Kathrin Hellstern (BQ-Cycling-Team / RIG Freiburg) took her second stage win. Again Gabi Stanger (Team Centurion) and Ivonne Kraft (Team Nutrixxion) found themselves finishing in second and third.
