Dutchman Casper van Uden won Saturday’s sprint at the end of the second stage of the Tour de l’Avenir after a 153km battle between Bennett (Vendee) and Sivray (Vienne). Norwegian Soren Warenskjold, who outwitted the sprinters on Friday to win the first stage, retained the yellow jersey with a second lead.
“It’s a team win”
This new flat stage was animated by a long breakaway of three riders – Darren Rafferty (Ireland), Felix Stähli (Switzerland) and Carson Miles (Canada) – and a last ditch effort by Italian Lorenzo Milesi. But at the end of the course the peloton, led by the Dutch riders, gradually swallowed everyone up to ensure a sprint finish.

In all power, Van Uden won over Dane Sebastian Tchangisi and Briton Samuel Watson, who were already 2nd and 3rd on Friday. “It’s a team win. The boys worked hard yesterday but we made a few mistakes. Today, they did it again and it’s crazy! »Van Uden, 21, was delighted.
“A stage win was one of my goals and to see them help me like that… We compete as different teams, usually we are rivals, but here we worked together, it’s really special”, he added.
