After being the only man to match Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard on the Pike climb of the first stage, Cofidis's Victor Lafay once again showed good legs, to take a brilliant victory on stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de France.
With an elite group of around 25 riders coming into the finale together, Lafay launched a solo move with just under a kilometre to go. As the rest of the group hesitated, waiting for Jumbo-Visma and Wout van Aert to reel him in, Lafay continued to press on.
Once the bunch finally launched their own sprints, it was too late. A visibly frustrated van Aert coming an agonising second, with Tadej Pogacar third, gaining another couple of bonus seconds.

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024

- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
