Thursday, June 19: Stage 2, Rucphen - Sint Willebrod, 183.9 km

Stage 2 profile |

The Race: Giant-Shimano rider Marcel Kittel signalled his return to form by winning today's stage in Sint Willebrod.

The German sprinter had been forced to withdraw from the Giro d'Italia in mid-May because of illness after winning two successive stages (Belfast and Dublin).

Kittel picked up thirteen seconds of bonus time in this stage, more than enough to allow him to take over the overall lead from Philippe Gilbert.
