    One day after the Tour de France made its first Grand Départ from Italy in the history of the race, Stage 2 of the race continued through Italy and ended in Bologna.

    French rider Kevin Vauquelin won the day in Stage 2, making it back-to-back days with a French rider winning the stage. Vauquelin's win also brought his team – Arkéa - B&B Hotels – its first stage victory at the Tour de France in 11 tries at the race.

    Unlike with Stage 1 , which saw nearly 50 riders finishing within five seconds of the leader, Vauquelin finished Stage 2 nearly 40 seconds ahead of the next closest competitor, Norwegian cyclist Jonas Abrahamsen .

    Here's how the classification at the 2024 Tour de France looks after two days of racing.
