André Greipel wins a close one at the end of stage 2

The Race: Wind and rain as well as the sometimes difficult roads of The Netherlands created both havoc and opportunities. For those teams that rode with sufficient power and tactical finesse, the day paid dividends. Despite the bad weather, the stage was raced blindlingly fast, 47.644 km/hr

Flat tires were the order of the day, most notably Peter Sagan punctured with fifteen kilometers to go. He chased and regained the front group, and still managed second place, a fine testimony to his superb condition. But one wonders if he might have won the stage if he had enjoyed better luck.

With about 100 kilometers to go, with the wind blowing, Tinkoff-Saxo and Etixx-Quick Step hammered the peloton with a hard acceleration, splitting 26 riders from the main pack. While Alberto Contador and Christopher Froome made the front group, Vincenzo Nibali and Nairo Quintana missed the move, forcing them to concede a minute and a half.

In the sprint, Mark Cavendish went early, allowing both Sagan and André Greipel and Fabian Cancellara to get by the Cavendish as he tired.

The 4-second time bonus for third place elevated Fabian Cancellara to the Yellow Jersey.
