Mattias Skjelmose Jensen won the stage 2 of Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var. The Trek-Segafredo team rider won ahead of Neilson Powless of EF Education-EasyPost team and Kevin Vauquelin of Arkéa-Samsic team who completed the podium
Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total Energies), Marco Brenner, Lorenzo Milesi (Team DSM) and Adne Holter (Team Uno-X) formed today's stage breakaway being caught around 6 km to the finish. EF Education-EasyPost setted the pace on the Cabris climb for his leader Neilson Powless but didn't divide much the peloton.
After the Sophia Antipholis hill around 8 km the race got really open with no team controlling the peloton and some attacks happened with hopes of creating a late breakaway attempt. All ended with a selective group sprint finish with Mattias Skjelmose being the fastest.
The Trek-Segafredo rider got his second professional victory ahead of Neilson Powless who repeated his second place and Kevin Vauquelin who won yesterday and remains as the race leader.

- I would like to say one thing to Rúben Silva, the author of this article: "F*** you!!! Your f***** stupid and mean, and you know nothing about Tadej. Capish?" Pogi is one of the most humble guys, he takes care of his cyclists on his team, he jokes a lot, he buys his team presents, he has his own Pogi team to help young cyclists (they get everything, the complete cycling kit and bike) for free. So Rúben Silva, what else can I say... I won't, I already said it.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
