"It was an eventful stage yesterday, with Vingegaard pulling himself off the tarmac after a crash to out-sprint Lidl-Trek's Giulio Ciccone in the race's first uphill finish. The Danish two-time Tour winner relieved any doubts of possible fatigue after the Tour de France, looking fresh and powerful as he won the small group sprint on Limone Piemonte to move into the red jersey."
"The big news overnight, if you missed it, is that the team of race leader Jonas Vingegaard, Visma-Lease a Bike, had their mechanic's truck broken into with up to 18 bikes stolen. The riders are set for a lumpy day through the region of Piedmont on stage three with a testing uphill finish in Ceres. Will any sprinters be able to survive the final ascent, or will this be a day for the puncheurs of the peloton?"
