Sacha Modolo tops Mark Cavendish and Leigh Howard to win stage 2 of the Tour de San Luis.

Sacha Modolo (Bardiani Valvole-CSF Inox) won stage 2 of the Tour de San Luis on Tuesday, topping overnight leader Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) and Leigh Howard (Orica-GreenEdge) in Terrazas del Portezuelo, Argentina.

“I tried today,” said Cavendish. “I tried everything today. Modolo was just better.”

American Ben Jacques-Maynes (Jamis-Hagens Berman) spent the bulk of the stage in a long breakaway with Leandro Messineo (San Luis Somos Todos) and Martin Hacecky (ASC Dukla Praha), but the peloton overcame the trio inside five kilometers to go.
