Jarno Widar's breakthrough comes right on time. The Belgian talent from Lotto Development triumphs in the second stage of the Ronde de L'Isard, the Luz Saint Sauveur-Cauterets with a mountain finish, and becomes the new leader of the French race. Widar breaks away in the finale and wins with a 6" margin over the Italian duo Mattia Negrente and Ludovico Mellano, both from XDS Astana Development: fourth is Norwegian Sekse, fifth Davide Zanutta and eighth Alessandro Cattani, completing an excellent performance by our young riders.

In the overall classification, Widar leads by 12" over Negrente and 18" over Mexican Prieto from Petrolike.
