BRUSSELS - Dutchman Mike Teunissen clung on to the yellow jersey for another day as his Jumbo-Visma team powered to victory in the Tour de France’s second stage on Sunday — a 27.6-km team time trial around the streets of Brussels.
With the motivation of keeping Teunissen, the first Dutchman to don the yellow jersey since 1989, in the lead, the eight Jumbo-Visma riders, almost matching him in the team’s yellow-and-black kit, flew around the capital like a swarm of wasps, beating the British outfit by 20 seconds. “Yesterday it was a dream, and it’s the case today again,” said the 26-year-old Teunissen, who won Saturday’s bunch sprint after the team’s main man Dylan Groenewegen crashed.
Frenchman Romain Bardet lost 59 seconds on the Ineos duo although he will feel he can claw that damage back when the road goes up, but Australian Richie Porte’s Trek-Segafredo finished 58 seconds slower. Thomas, who suffered a scare in a first-day crash, said it had been a positive day, especially as the team were the first down the ramp in the Palais Royal — a legacy of being bottom of the team standings after an incident-packed day one.
