El holand\u00e9s Cees Bool (Team DSM) se burl\u00f3 del resto del pelot\u00f3n para levantar los brazos en el \u00faltimo tramo de la segunda etapa en Amilly, pero el actor principal del d\u00eda fue el australiano Michael Matthews (Bike Exchange), que acumul\u00f3 puntos extra en la 188 km del recorrido de los d\u00edas antes de terminar tercero para despojar a Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-Quick Step) del maillot de l\u00edder. \u201cBling\u201d, que ya ostentaba la camiseta amarilla y blanca en 2016 hasta el \u00faltimo d\u00eda de la pluma, eligi\u00f3 cinco segundos en los sprints adicionales para ponerse al nivel de Bennett y su podio fue suficiente para repetir la haza\u00f1a. Mads Pedersen, de Dinamarca, fue segundo en la etapa detr\u00e1s de Bol y tambi\u00e9n es segundo en la general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La etapa 2 comenz\u00f3 a las 11:49 sin el ganador de la carrera de 2013 y 2015, Richie Porte, obligado a salir en un accidente en la etapa 1. El descanso del d\u00eda tuvo lugar en el kil\u00f3metro 17.5 cuando los belgas Sander Armee (Qhubeka) y Dries de Bondt (Alpecin-Fenix ) se separ\u00f3 del resto del pelot\u00f3n. El pelot\u00f3n les dio el visto bueno y la dupla fue aumentando gradualmente su ventaja, que remat\u00f3 en 4:25 en el kil\u00f3metro 33 y se mantuvo estable en torno a los tres minutos hasta la subida del d\u00eda, Cote des Granges-le-Roi en el km 72,2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escalones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armee fue el primero por delante de De Dondt en la cima de la escalada con Fabien Doubey (Total Direct Energie) arrebatando el punto restante para asegurar el maillot de lunares hasta el jueves, ya que no hay subidas en la etapa 3 del martes. El pelot\u00f3n se dividi\u00f3 en varios escalones. despu\u00e9s de que Trek-Segafredo acelerara el ritmo y los dos fugados regresaran en el kil\u00f3metro 84. La segunda parte del pelot\u00f3n, en la que aparec\u00edan Steven Kruiswijk entre otros, finalmente se reagrupaba unos kil\u00f3metros m\u00e1s adelante, poco antes del primer sprint de bonificaci\u00f3n de el d\u00eda, tomada por Michael Matthews (Bike Exchange).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con 70 km arriba, Deceuninck-Quick Step tambi\u00e9n aument\u00f3 el ritmo en los vientos cruzados, dividiendo el pelot\u00f3n en tres escalones. Kruijswijk volvi\u00f3 a estar entre los corredores que cayeron al frente del grupo, pero el grupo se reagrup\u00f3 una vez m\u00e1s. Andre Greipel (Israel Startup Nation) gan\u00f3 el segundo sprint adicional por delante de Matthews, y el australiano se encontr\u00f3 a tiempo con Sam Bennett en la clasificaci\u00f3n general antes del sprint final. Poco despu\u00e9s del sprint, George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma) se estrell\u00f3 pero r\u00e1pidamente regres\u00f3 a su bicicleta. No fue el caso de Alexis Vuillermoz (Total Direct Energie), quien se vio obligado a retirarse por una presunta lesi\u00f3n en la clav\u00edcula en un choque posterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bol lo hace por fin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un \u00faltimo accidente involucr\u00f3 a Gregor Muehlberger (Movistar) y Daniel Arroyave (EF Education-Nippo) antes de que se preparara el escenario para el sprint final del grupo. Trek-Segafredo lider\u00f3 la mayor parte de los \u00faltimos dos kil\u00f3metros para posicionar idealmente a Mads Pedersen, mientras que Sam Bennett qued\u00f3 un poco bloqueado despu\u00e9s de que se produjera un accidente en la \u00faltima curva. Pero Cees Bol fue el m\u00e1s astuto de todos cuando super\u00f3 a Pedersen y al franc\u00e9s Bryan Coquard para arrebatar su victoria m\u00e1s enf\u00e1tica hasta la fecha despu\u00e9s de varios primeros cinco puestos en el \u00faltimo Tour de Francia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutchman Cees Bool (Team DSM)<\/strong> outwitted the rest of the bunch to raise his arms on the last stretch of the second stage in Amilly, but the main actor of the day was Australia\u2019s Michael Matthews (Bike Exchange)<\/strong>, who collected bonus points on the 188 km of the days\u2019 ride before finishing third to rid Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-Quick Step) of the leader\u2019s jersey. \u201cBling\u201d, who already held the yellow and white jersey in 2016 until the pen ultimate day, picked five seconds in the bonus sprints to move level with Bennett and his podium placing was enough to repeat the feat. Denmark\u2019s Mads Pedersen, was second in the stage behind Bol and also lies second overall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Belgian breakaway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2 started at 11:49 without 2013 and 2015 race winner Richie Porte, forced out in a crash on stage 1. The break of the day took place at kilometre 17.5 when Belgians Sander Armee (Qhubeka) and Dries de Bondt (Alpecin-Fenix) parted with the rest of the peloton. The pack gave them the go-ahead and the duo gradually increased their lead, which topped at 4:25 at kilometre 33 and remained stable at around three minutes until the day\u2019s climb, Cote des Granges-le-Roi at km 72.2.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echelons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armee was first ahead of De Dondt at the top of the climb with Fabien Doubey (Total Direct Energie) snatching the remaining point to secure the polka-dot jersey until Thursday as there are no climbs in Tuesday\u2019s stage 3. The peloton split into several echelons after Trek-Segafredo upped the pace and the two escapees were brought back at kilometre 84. The second part of the bunch, in which featured Steven Kruiswijk among others, finally regrouped a few kilometres further down the road, shortly before the first bonus sprint of the day, taken by Michael Matthews (Bike Exchange).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 70 km top go Deceuninck-Quick Step also increased the tempo in the crosswinds, splitting the pack into three echelons. Kruijswijk was again among the riders dropped by the front of the bunch but the pack regrouped once more. Andre Greipel (Israel Startup Nation) won the second bonus sprint ahead of Matthews, and the Australian found himself level with Sam Bennett on time in the GC before the final sprint. Shortly after the sprint, George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma) crashed but was quickly back on his bike. It was not the case of Alexis Vuillermoz (Total Direct Energie), who was forced to call it quits with a suspected collarbone injury in a later pile-up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bol makes it at last<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A last crash involved Gregor Muehlberger (Movistar) and Daniel Arroyave (EF Education-Nippo) before the stage was set for the final bunch sprint. Trek-Segafredo led for most of the last two kilometres to position Mads Pedersen ideally, while Sam Bennett was blocked a bit behind after a crash took place in the last corner. But Cees Bol was the most cunning of a lot as he surged behind Pedersen and France\u2019s Bryan Coquard to snatch his most emphatic win to date after several top five placings in the last Tour de France. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
