Michael Storer of Tudor Pro Cycling Team claimed a massive
victory on stage 2 of the
Tour of the Alps, moving into the overall lead with a
commanding performance.
The Australian now holds a lead of more than 40 seconds in
the general classification following his dominant ride. Storer launched his
move with just over 4km of racing left, and the gap was held at around 12 seconds
until the final kilometre. Then, the gap exploded, with 41 seconds to Paul
Seixas and
Romain Bardet at the finish. With mountainous stages to come, Storer
will take some beating, even for someone as talented as Bardet.
