Back to 2014 Tour of Switzerland |

Sunday, June 15: Stage 2, Bellinzona - Sarnen, 181.8 km

Stage 2 map and profile |

The Race: This is the 2014 Tour of Switzerland's queen stage with two ascents rated Hors Category, the Gotthard and the Furka passes, followed by the second-category Grimsel and Brünig climbs. The Brünig comes with 22 km remaining, so if race leader Tony Martin has been dropped, but is close to the leaders after the climbing, he may be able close the gap and keep his lead.

Indeed, Tony Martin did preserve his overall lead.

A six-man break went clear just fifteen kilometers into the stage. On the ascent of the final climbs, the Brünig, it was down to just Philip Deignan and Lawrence Warbasse. Cameron Meyer steamed down the descent and, bad news for them, caught the pair and then won the sprint for the stage.

Further back, though the break had carved out a lead of more than five minutes, determined chasing by the peloton shrank the lead to just 14 seconds at the end, allowing Tony Martin to remain the leader.
