Preview stage 2. From the 31st of January to the 4th of February the peloton is in France and will race the Etoile de Bessèges. It is the opening stage-race of the French calendar in 2024.
Stage 2 takes place from Marguerittes to Rousson and is 164 kilometers long. On paper a day for the puncheurs, but there are a few barriers. 13.2 kilometers at 3.6% and 3.1 kilometers at 5.8% halfway through the day will be a bit of a warm-up, where some damage can be done to the fast men. However the situation will develop towards the end, where there are a couple of small hilltops before the finale, which in itself is on a 900-meter ascent at 9%, which will create some more gaps and provide for a spectacular sprint.
Prediction Etoile de Bessèges 2024 stage 2:
*** Ben Healy, Benoît Cosnefroy
** Mads Pedersen, Kévin Geniets, Mathieu Burgaudeau
* Alberto Bettiol, Alex Baudin, Aurélien Paret-Peintre, Timo Kielich, Quentin Pacher, Kévin Vauquelin, Rasmus Tiller
Pick: Benoît Cosnefroy
