Mattias Skjelmose Jensen won the stage 2 of Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var. The Trek-Segafredo team rider won ahead of Neilson Powless of EF Education-EasyPost team and Kevin Vauquelin of Arkéa-Samsic team who completed the podium
Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total Energies), Marco Brenner, Lorenzo Milesi (Team DSM) and Adne Holter (Team Uno-X) formed today's stage breakaway being caught around 6 km to the finish. EF Education-EasyPost setted the pace on the Cabris climb for his leader Neilson Powless but didn't divide much the peloton.
After the Sophia Antipholis hill around 8 km the race got really open with no team controlling the peloton and some attacks happened with hopes of creating a late breakaway attempt. All ended with a selective group sprint finish with Mattias Skjelmose being the fastest.
The Trek-Segafredo rider got his second professional victory ahead of Neilson Powless who repeated his second place and Kevin Vauquelin who won yesterday and remains as the race leader.

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
