While we didn't see the climbs (they came before the race came on air), Alexandre Delettre (TotalEnergies) took maximum points over both of them. He is building on the lead that won him the Maillot a Pois in the opening stage. The title refers to just how flat the stage was now with another 79 kilometers left to race. He was joined in the breakaway by Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno X-Mobility) and Samuel Fernandez (Caja Rural-Seguros). At this point, the trio only has a minute on the chasing peloton, so I am guessing a stage victory is not in the cards for these guys today.
