Tour de France standings: Race outlook after Stage 2
Jack McKessy
One day after the Tour de France made its first Grand DeĢpart from Italy in the history of the race, Stage 2 of the race continued through Italy and ended in Bologna.
French rider Kevin Vauquelin won the day in Stage 2, making it back-to-back days with a French rider winning the stage. Vauquelin's win also brought his team ā ArkeĢa - B&B Hotels ā its first stage victory at the Tour de France in 11 tries at the race.
Unlike with Stage 1, which saw nearly 50 riders finishing within five seconds of the leader, Vauquelin finished Stage 2 nearly 40 seconds ahead of the next closest competitor, Norwegian cyclist Jonas Abrahamsen.
Here's how the classification at the 2024 Tour de France looks after two days of racing.
