PREVIEW | Etoile de Bessèges 2023 stage 2 - Mads Pedersen vs Arnaud De Lie round 2

The opening stage-race of the year in France will be the Etoile de Bessèges and every year it delivers quite a lot of spectacle in central France. Stage 2 should be another for the sprinters, with both Arnaud de Lie and Mads Pedersen looking in fine form after winning stage 1.

Stage two from Bagard to Aubais is not completely flat looking at it's profile, it is a hilly day but there won't be an ascent too hard to complicate the life of the fast men, so it should be a day for the sprinters. It features a 2.7-kilometer climb which will be climbed twice not too far from the finish, however there is no real terrain to drop the fast men.

Stage 2: Bagard - Aubais, 169.6 kilometers
Stage 2: Bagard - Aubais, 169.6 kilometers
