Second stage of the tour, two hard climbs for the sprinters in the last 30km.

I expect another stage like yesterday's, but with more puncheur riders than climbers. DSM will try to keep Bardet's jersey.

If he is in good shape maybe Van Aert could win, also Pedersen. Too hard for Van Der Poel. And we always have Pogacar.

I expected more fight for the break. The peloton let them go, and it is good for the leader also because the best riders on the GC are 15 minutes behind.

I still hope that it could have a thrilling finale.

So the peloton is closing in now, 9 minute gap with 60-ish to go. Will they catch the break away?

It could have been, but they lost it.

The winer is on the break. Will any of the GC contenders attack on the last climb?
