Arnaud Demare spadroneggia in Benelux trionfando nella seconda tappa dell'Eneco Tour, svoltasi da Ardooie a Vorst sulla distanza di 176 chilometri. La promessa transalpina, dell'Equipe FDJ, ha stupendamente messo a tacere il campione del mondo Philippe Gilbert (già secondo nel campionato belga a cronometro l'altro ieri) e l'americano Farrar: settimo il redivivo Pozzato. Proprio in virtù degli abbuoni Demare è balzato al comando della classifica generale spodestando Mark Renshaw, vincitore della prima frazione.
