Riding to glory
Stage two of the Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes was all about Danish rider Anthon Charmig (Uno-X Mobility) and his escape to victory after spending his day in the break.
He proved himself best of a 10-man breakaway, which had led the peloton of over 5 minutes for most of the day, taking only his second pro win, and his first victory on European roads. The Dane escaped from the lead pack after the final climb, the Cote de Saint-Vidal.
Alex Baudin finished 59th and stays in the lead in the general classification, after victory in the opening stage yesterday, having been looked after by his EF Education EasyPost team throughout the day.
“For me, I don’t get too many chances. It’s an incredible feeling! I’m so happy to be here.”

EF Education EasyPost worked hard to keep their man Baudin in contention.
