The second stage of the Tour de France ended with significant time differences for some of the general classification riders.
Tadej Pogacar took the yellow in Bologna, where Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Richard Carapaz also did a good ride. On the other hand, Primoz Roglic was one of the losers.
Pogacar, Evenepoel, Vingegaard and Carapaz are in the same time after two days of racing. If you add the stage results of Pogacar together, you will get 18. That is lower than Evenepoel (20), Vingegaard (29) and Carapaz (32). The yellow may change in the coming days. For example, if Evenepoel finishes more than two places ahead of Pogacar on Monday, in the third stage, the Belgian will take over the leader’s jersey.
