Results Gran Camiño 2026 Stage 2 | Carlos Canal takes first pro win as Johansen cracks and GC shaken in chaotic finale
Cycling
Carlos Canal claimed the biggest win of his career on Stage 2 of O Gran Camiño 2026, sprinting to victory from a reduced front group after a chaotic finale that also reshaped the general classification.
The initial move featured eight riders, with standouts Sinuhé Fernández of Burgos, Tomas Contte of Aviludo and Danny van der Tuuk of Euskaltel, who built a maximum gap of four minutes. The rough side of the mid-stage fell on Team Kern, which lost its chances after a heavy crash involving Iván Ramiro Sosa and Mikel Retegi, compounded by an ill-timed mechanical for Diego Uriarte.
The closing sequence toward San Cosme de Barreiros and the Alto de Noceda turned into a powder keg that proved tactically tricky for many teams. UAE Team could not match the engine of Iván Romeo, who made amends for his double puncture the day before.
Inside the final three thousand metres, the tireless Nelson Oliveira launched a solo flyer that forced a full-gas reaction from the bunch, laying perfect groundwork for a group sprint.
Burgos tried to deliver Jesús Herrada under the flamme rouge, but destiny had already aligned for Carlos Canal to sign an unforgettable victory.

- Seriously do you think when somebody gets into a serious accident, the ambulance is called by the hurt person?🤦 there is always a buddy system in place for a risky job. police , firefighters etc so that if someone gets hurt, the other call that in.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
