The flamenco cyclist of the team SOUDAL Quick-Step Tim Merlier ha cattle the Second stage of the Paris-Niza of 2025to the sprintin Bellegare, this Monday, and, in this way, maintains and reinforces its leadership in the general classification of the raceafter of the triumph that also obtained on Sunday, on the first day of the test. Merlier, on the arrival of the second stage, has surpassed Emilien Jeannière, of the totalEnergieswhich has been second, already Mads Pedersen, from Lidl-Trekthird, on a day that has also left abandonment, after suffering a fall, of Gorka Sorarrain (Rural Caja-Seguros RGA).

Merlier, in this context, has added his sixth victory of the season, and ratifies the excellent moment in which he is. The current European champion, as on the eve, has won incontestably, with remarkable superiority before all its rivals. The flamenco sprinter of the Soudal Quick-Step has perfectly taken its opportunity in the first two days of career, before the Tuesday counter-teams give, predictably, a turn to the general classification.

The other proper name of the second stage has been Jonas Abrahamsen. The Norwegian corridor of the one-X Mobility has remained escaped, at the head of the race, accompanied by other men and then alone, for practically all day, and has only been caught by the squad when there were two and a half kilometers left for the end. His work has not had the reward of victory, but has evidenced the pedal coup of the cyclist of one-X.

As has been said, The Guipuzcoan of the Rurala Gorka Sorarrain, the only Basque corridor in the Paris-Niza, has had to leave the test, suffering a fall in the special sprint that has been played under the same finish line. It has not been the only accident of the day, since, in the absence of 45 kilometers for the end, several men have been involved in another fall, in the squad.

The 83rd Paris-Niza puts into play, on Tuesday, its third stage, which will be a TEAMS BOUSE, 28.4 kilometers, in Neversin which the general classification can change very remarkably. EITB will offer the live stage, from 2:35 p.m., through EITB.EUS and ETB4; From 3:20 p.m., television broadcast is going to ETB1.
