Stage 2 highlightsStage win No.2 for Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl and Fabio JakobsenFabio Jakobsen won the bunch sprint of the second stage of the 2022 Tour de France. The Dutchman of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl crossed the line first, after a windy stage of more than 202 kilometres with the 18 kilometre Storeblts bridge. Wout van Aert was second and grabbed 6 bonus seconds to take over the yellow jersey from Yves Lampaert.Stage 2 profileChristian Prudhomme on the stage: “The Tours riders have already savoured the experience of riding over the sea to reach the finish at Zeeland in 2015. On this occasion, the Great Belt crossing is 18 kilometres long and theres a strong possibility that the riders will have to battle with a gusting wind.

If any of the favourites arent vigilant enough, theyll have good reason to regret the finish.”Sign-on for stage 2With Yves Lampaert in the yellow jersey, the peloton started in Roskilde for the first road stage.
