Alex Aranburu has won the second stage of the Tour du Limousin. He was the fastest amongst his rivals to cross the finish line.
The breakaway included Maxime Urruty and Maël Guégan. The duo worked together to gain a lead of over 5 minutes from the peloton. They increased the lead to over 7 minutes 80 kilometers before the finish line.
The gap started to decrease in the next few kilometers and eventually came down to under one minute 14 kilometers before the finish line. The duo was finally caught by the peloton just 10 kilometers before the finish line. The peloton was ready for a sprint. Aranburu, who secured bronze in the first stage, took the victory as Eduard-Michael Grosu took the silver. Clément Venturini finished in third place.

- I understand that there are things that are 'lost in translation' on a site like this, which don't necessarily have the budget for things like proofreading that larger publications have. My sense of humour may not be that funny after all, but I do seriously appreciate being able to view articles and and comment on them without having to pay a fee, which is increasingly rare these days..
santiagobenites21-04-2025 - He owes Pogi an apology! He pulled Pogacar out of the peloton and then quikly left him alone in the wind. Tadej respected Julian and Julian didn't come through.velodan21-04-2025
- Funny he focused so much on that and didn’t mention the situation for Lotte at all. To be fair about the men thing, it might be a mechanical translation problem, I think in Dutch the size of a team or group of humans is expressed by the same word as the male sex, a bit like in English when you speak about humanity in relation to the planet you say man. We all know this cheapo freebie of a website has no proofreading budget and that kind of makes it more human and funny, also teaches you to read between the lines to understand what they’re trying to report often because so much is badly translated.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- No, but more than plenty making a living commenting ;-)Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- People were saying stuff like that years ago but in the meantime he’s proved himself often enough. Do you reallythink he’s going to stop working and improving until he can match the best? It’s just a matter of time. Once he notices the mountains are costing him the title, he’ll start making plans how to overcome that, for now he is still too cocky to understand you improve most by accepting you have a weakness and that’s what you should work on most.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Tao has been a flop for Lidl Trek. He was taken as a GC hopeful but is nowhere due to various factors.abstractengineer21-04-2025
- It’s the kind of thing Tadej would have tried too ;-) one of the reasons I think they won’t get along very long, too much alike in some aspects.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Also, it seems fans and he have narrowed down strategies for winning to one, doing long-range solos. Maybe in-race he should re-evaluate whether that strategy is advantageous under actual conditions, like with a tiring headwind and two phenomenal chasers working behind him, surely he was made aware of that pretty quick?Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- I don’t think he is very well advised in-house, whether that is because they’re happy for him to do things this way or whether he just isn’t good at taking advice, I don’t know and it probably doesn’t matter, not until he will reach a “bad” patch because as many before him discovered, it can be very long to climb out a bad patch if you don’t know or accept what will help you get through it.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Well yes, and sometimes that makes it more sometimes less interesting. Problem for spectator is you can never know in advance :-(Mistermaumau21-04-2025
