VIDEO: Highlights of thrilling and foggy stage 2 at the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine as Magnus Cort takes victory and Primoz Roglic impresses
Cycling
The general classification riders faced their first true test of the race on Stage 2 of the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine. Ultimately, Magnus Cort Nielsen prevailed over Primoz Roglic and Matteo Jorgenson, stepping out through the mist and fog at the finish line.
It was a truly thrilling finale however, as Bruno Armirail, who had spent the entirety of the stage in the breakaway lasted all the way until just 200m to go before being caught by a reduced bunch who left it late, but in the end timed the catch to perfection. With all said and done, Magnus Cort Nielsen is now into the Maillot Jaune, with Primoz Roglic and Matteo completing the top-3 as was the stage finale. Thanks to his efforts during the day however, Armirail is up to 4th in the GC. Catch up on all the highlights, or rewatch all of the action from a dramatic day of racing in the video down below!

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
