Sylvain Moniquet<\/a> (Cofidis) took his first professional victory on stage 2 of the Tour du Limousin-P\u00e9rigord<\/a>, timing an attack perfectly in the final 2km to win solo in Gr\u00e8zes as the general classification favourites failed to get a chase together.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Belgian went away from a fractured lead breakaway group and held a narrow lead to the line, with Alexandre Delettre<\/a> (TotalEnergies) taking second eight seconds later and Ewen Costiou<\/a> (Ark\u00e9a-B&B Hotels) third, a further three seconds back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After working for the vast majority of stage 2, Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale failed to come away with the stage win or the race lead, with Nicolas Prodhomme<\/a> their top finisher on Wednesday in fourth.<\/p>\n

Race leader Thomas Gachignard<\/a> (TotalEnergies) was dropped in the final 18km of the stage as Decathlon ripped things up on the punchy Dordogne hills, and despite fighting valiantly, he ceded the yellow jersey to Costiou.<\/p>\n
