Alla prima gara con la maglia della Astana, Alexander Vlasov fa capire subito di che pasta è fatto: il campione russo, infatti, ha imposto la sua legge sul traguardo in salita de La Ciotat, dove si è conclusa la seconda tappa del Tour de la Provence.

«Ho pensato solo ad andare a tutto gas, ancora non mi rendo conto di quello che ho fatto ma sono molto contento per me e sopratutto per la Astana che mi ha dato la possibilità di vivere questa avventura» ha detto il russo dopo il traguardo.

Alle sue spalle si è piazzato l'olandese Wilco Keldermann mentre a comletare il trionfo Astana è stato Alexey Lutsenko, che ha chiuso terzo. Ottima prestazione del neoprofessionista valtellinese Andrea Bagioli che si è piazzato al quinto posto e si è meritato i complimenti in tempo reale via twitter di Patrick Lefevere.
