Throughout five days the peloton will race in Saudi Arabia, for the Saudi Tour. The opening stage saw a bunch sprint where Team Jayco AlUla's Dylan Groenewegen took the win, and stage 2 should have a similar outcome on flat roads.
Stage two has a slightly hillier start with some bonus seconds available at the top of an early hilltop. Most of the stage however is pan-flat, with the Shalal Siljyat Rocks spot set to host the finale in what should be a bunch sprint. The fast men are unlikely to be challenged on this day, however the weather and road conditions can certainly cause a lot of built-up fatigue towards the finale.
Stage 2: Winter Park - Shalal Sjilyat Rocks, 184 kilometers
