Jonas Vingegaard has prepared well for this Tour and is ready to challenge Tadej Pogacar on all terrains offered by the yellow race. Just as we saw at the Dauphiné, in yesterday's stage ending in Boulogne sur Mer, the victory was decided in a sprint between Van der Poel, Vingegaard and Pogacar, but this time the success went to the Dutchman who also conquered the yellow jersey.

Jonas Vingegaard attempted an attack at the end of the second stage without success, but for now he finished third, which makes him quite satisfied.

"I think I can say that I have good sensations and feel in perfect shape. I felt good and that's why I tried to attack. You don't do something like that if you don't feel well."

The second day of racing was characterized by a route very similar to the Classics, and for this reason many riders kept the race pace high. In a finale like yesterday's, with several climbs, curves and ups and downs, the number one favorite was Mathieu van der Poel, who then won: Vingegaard wanted to show his rivals that he wants to be a protagonist.

"My legs were good and, once again, the team performed excellently and kept me out of trouble. The Tour has just begun but we've seen how everyone immediately tries to win."

The Tour de France is the most anticipated race of the year and Vingegaard is satisfied with the signals his body has given him in the first two days of racing. The Dane, helped by his teammates, attacked on the final ramps but was unable to drop his rivals.

The top three finishers in yesterday's stage are also the top three in the general classification, and this is a positive sign for when the Alps and Pyrenees arrive.

"We knew we had to make the last climb very tough. Mathieu and Tadej are better in sprints, and it was truly extraordinary to finish third. The goal is to test our rivals every day. This time we didn't manage to win, but the entire team performed very well again."

We are just at the beginning, but the Visma - Lease a Bike sports director, Grischa Niermann, is also very satisfied with his riders. In the last 20 kilometers of the race, the work of Van Aert, Jorgenson and Campenaerts was particularly important. Worth noting the results of the American, who is fifth in the general classification and finished eighth in the first stage's sprint that awarded the first yellow jersey.
