Astana rider Levi Leipheimer won the second stage of the Vuelta of Castilla and Leon cycling race Tuesday, beating teammate Alberto Contador by 16 seconds.

Leipheimer won the 28-kilometer (17-mile) time trial Tuesday in and around the northern town of Palencia in 33 minutes, 17.78 seconds. Garmin-Slipstream rider David Zabriskie was third, 22 seconds behind Leipheimer.

Leipheimer leads Contador in the overall standings by 16 seconds.

"We're very happy with the results, if they can keep going like that," Astana team manager Johan Bruyneel said.

The Castilla and Leon was to have been the first time Astana teammates Armstrong and Contador had ridden together since the 37-year-old American returned from 31/2 years of retirement.

Wednesday's third stage is a 157-kilometer (98-mile) ride between Sahagun and the mountain top winter station of San Isidro.
