Uno-X’s Magnus Cort wins stage 2 of the Critérium du Dauphiné. For a long time it looked like Bruno Amiel was on his way to stage victory, but the Frenchman was overtaken in the final 100 meters before Magnus Cort won the sprint ahead of Primos Roglic and Mateo Jorgensen. With the win, Cort takes over the leader’s jersey from his compatriot Mads Pedersen.
The second stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné involved climbing for the first time, but the intense climbs were yet to come. A lead group of five quickly formed, with the Fugitives taking a five-minute lead before Primoz Roglic’s team took the lead in the peloton.
On the penultimate climb of the day, the Bora-Hansgrohe was riding tight and several riders had problems, including Antonio Tiberi, fifth in the Giro d’Italia. The peloton soon closed in on the leading group, with Bruno Amiel pulling away from the other escapees. The Frenchman held a lead of nearly half a minute for a long time, but he was caught in the final 100 meters before Magnus Korte won the sprint from a thin peloton. The Dane won ahead of Primoz Roglic and Matteo Jorgensen and is also the new leader of the French stage.
