Preview stage 2. From the 22nd to 26th of July the race outside France at the highest level returns, the Tour de Wallonie will be one of the preparation races for the World Championships and will provide explosive racing.
Stage 2 takes the riders from Saint-Ghisland to Walcourt and it's a classic Walloon day. On paper it could quite well be for the sprinters if the teams manage to to control it, however it features a lot of rolling roads and a few difficult bumps towards the finale where differences can be made.
