The early breakaway was still off the front by 28 seconds with just fifteen kilometers left to race. As the quartet continued to work together, they urged each other on. You can see Jordan Labrosse (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale) chatting with Enzo Leijnse (Picnic-PostNL). Behind Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis) and Thibault Guernalec (Arkea-B&B Hotels) are catching their breath before rolling through to the front to continue trying to hold off the slowly closing peloton. Sadly, they were caught. The sprinters had missed their chance in Stage 1, and they weren't about to let a breakaway ruin their chance for stage glory.
