A strong performance from Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) in the finale of stage 2 of the Vuelta a España saw him emerge victorious, as he outsprinted Giulio Ciccone to pip the Italian rider on the line.
The Danish rider’s victory sees him move into the overall lead of the race, as he took ten bonus seconds at the finish, whilst yesterday’s winner Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was dropped at the foot of the final climb and lost over eleven minutes.

As a category two climb, victory on the summit finish at Limone Piemonte also handed Vingegaard the lead in the mountains classification, as he took five points at the finish. However, the maillot de lunares will still be worn by Alessandro Verre (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) on stage 3, who moves down to second place in the classification.
