Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories

The Race: Ben Gastauer yesterday won his first road race in five years (he was Luxembourg time trial champion in 2012) when he won the first stage and became the general classification of the 2015 Tour du Haut Var. He kept his GC leadership through today's stage to finish as the overall winner

Gastauer is usually relegated to domestique chores and said after the stage, "I have always been accustomed to playing my role as a crew member and always work for my leaders. This time I was able to play my personal card and I have felt well lately and that that luck was finally smiling at me." Indeed it has smiled.

Well into stage two today a break of nine riders went away. But Gastauer's Ag2R team wasn't going to let it get away. The break was neutralized and the Johan Le Bon tried his luck on a flier. He was caught. Others tried their luck, but it came down to a good-sized lead group (that contained the ever-alert Gastauer) to fight for the stage win. Giant-Alpecin rider Luka Mezgec took the stage.

Complete Results: 194.7 km raced at an average speed of 38.542 km/hr
