By the time the early break had hit just 38 kilometers to race, they had dwindled from eleven men to these four. Hugo Nunes (Credibom/LA Aluminios/Marcos Car) along with Brent Van Moer (Lotto), German Tivani (Aviludo-Louletaqno-Loule), and Tobias Bayer (Alpecin-Deceuninck) still had roughly two and a half minutes on the chasing peloton. At this point, Tivani had regained the lead in the King of the Mountians competition that had been stripped from him with the odd decision over the finale yesterday. However, there are still a category two and category one climb yet to come. Since the final climb is the finish, it will be unlikely he will be wearing the jersey at the start of stage 3. Had he not lost his points from stage one, he would be.
