the dutch cyclist Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-Quick Step) took the second stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico on Tuesday, disputed between Camaiore and Follonica about 210 kilometersin a close photo finish sprint in which he overtook Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Fernando Gaviria (Movistar Team), while Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) continues to lead the Race of the Two Seas.
The fight was open until the end, with several teams looking for the best launch line for their speedsters. And the fastest the strongest was a Fabio Jakobsen what did he need from that photo finish and consequent confirmation of the judges to know that he was the winner of the stage.
He surpassed the Belgian from Alpecin-Deceuninck by just millimeters Jasper Phillipsenand with a little more margin to the Colombian Ferdinand Gaviria. But the distant attack, despite being powerful, of the Movistar Team sprinter was left without a reward as the sprint was a bit long.
In a stage in which the peloton had no problem finishing with a reduced breakaway and no heavy riders, Jakobsen achieved his second victory in 2023 (after winning in San Juan) and his 40th victory in his professional career. There were no outstanding changes in a general that Italian Filippo Ganna continues to leadof the INEOS Grenadiers.
Looking ahead to this Wednesday, the third stage of the Carrera de los dos mares brings a more irregular route, with two mountain passes far from the finish line. Of course, the long 216 kilometers between Follonica and Foligno They will be a good stage for leaks.
