It's Alessandro Fancellu's time! Finally back to winning after six years since his last triumph in Spain (July 2019 Vuelta Leon final classification). Fancellu conquered the second stage of the Tour of Japan, starting and finishing in the city of Inabe, where the Como native preceded the Danish rider Bregnhoj by 4" and his teammate Nicolò Garibbo by 22", who completed the beautiful day for the Japanese team led by Alberto Volpi and directed by Manuele Boaro. There's also the seventh position of Simone Raccani and the ninth of Valerio Conti.

Fancellu is now the new general classification leader, with a 16" lead over Bregnhoj and 33" over Oka. Garibbo is fourth, D'Amato fifth, and Conti ninth.
