The Italian sprinter was given the perfect lead-out from Milram team-mate Erik Zabel as he took stage two honours in Melle.

Petacchi, who won all five stages of the race last year, now holds a 14 second lead over Zabel, Australian Graeme Brown of Rabobank and Czech Richard Faltus on GC.

Petacchi will wear the yellow jersey in Friday's third stage over 161km from Melle to Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The race ends on Sunday in Osterode.
