Stage 2: Bennett At The Line

Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) wins the bunch sprint on Stage 2 of the 2022 La Vuelta.

Stage 2

A flat stage. What did you expect? It's the Netherlands. The riders covered 175.1km today, all preparatory for the final sprint finish.

Julius van den Berg (EF-Easypost) celebrates the first KOM jersey. The one small categorized climb at the 105.1km mark opened the door for the first rider to claim the King of the Mountains jersey. Does claiming the KOM after one category-4 climb feel a bit hollow? Tell that to the rider who trained his whole life to get on the world tour.

Tomorrow will be the final stage in the Netherlands, the conclusion of the 3-stage prelude before returning to Spain. Stage 3 will be another flat stage. It's a gift for the sprinters before the mountains ratchet up in the home country.
