FranceIsaac Del Toro, a 22-year-old Mexican cyclist from the UAE team, won the second stage of the 113th Tour de France, marking his debut in the race. The victory occurred on a flat stage in Barcelona, where Tadej Pogacar of the same team finished second but was instrumental in helping Del Toro win. Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey after finishing fourth, maintaining a lead over Pogacar and other top contenders. Del Toro’s win was celebrated with a dramatic finish at the Olympic Stadium, where he acknowledged Pogacar’s support. The race saw several close finishes, including Paul Seixas’ struggle with mechanical issues. Concerns were raised about the third stage due to an ongoing wildfire near the route.
