PREVIEW | Etoile de Bessèges 2023 stage 2 - Mads Pedersen vs Arnaud De Lie round 2
CyclingThursday, 02 February 2023 at 13:18
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
Prediction Time
Pick: Arnaud De Lie

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
