Coquard pips Alaphilippe to win stage 2 at Tour de la Provence

0

Bryan Coquard outsprinted Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) to win stage two of the Tour de la Provence.

The 2km drag to the finish line in Manosque came after a hilly stage that reduced the peloton down to 50 riders and played host to a sprint between different types of riders. Rounding out the top five were Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ) and Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic).

Ganna’s third-place on the stage was enough to see him retain the leader’s jersey ahead of the decisive summit finish that wraps up the race Sunday.
