The stage: Starting in Differdange/Niederkorn, the peloton heads towards the legendary Mousel climb before continuing through the beautiful Müllerthal region and the historic town of Echternach. The riders then make their way to Junglinster, where they will tackle the finishing circuit.

With a relatively favorable profile compared to the other road stages, Stage 2 is expected to suit the sprinters and could provide the fastest finish of the week—provided they can keep the attackers under control.

Weather at the finish city of Luxembourg-Fëschmaart at 2:50 PM, local time: 18C (64F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the west-northwest at 18 km/hr (11 mph). There is just a 2% chance of rain.

The stage: The 2026 Škoda Tour de Luxembourg begins in the heart of the capital at the historic Knuedler before heading into the rolling roads of Luxembourg.

The race returns to the city for a spectacular finish at the iconic Fëschmaart, where the first leader’s jersey of the week will be awarded.

The race: Here's the report from fourth-place Per Strand Hagenes' Team Visma | Lease a bike:

Team Visma | Lease a Bike got off to a promising start at the Tour de Luxembourg. Per Strand Hagenes finished fourth in the challenging opening stage, while teammate Davide Piganzoli also secured a top-ten finish. Mathieu van der Poel proved to be the strongest rider of the day.

The five-day race in Luxembourg got underway with a 158-kilometer stage starting and finishing in the capital. After a relatively flat opening, the riders faced several short climbs. At the foot of the Côte de Stafelter, the final climb of the day, the last remaining breakaway rider was caught, before Mathieu van der Poel launched his attack.

The Dutchman put the pressure on and only Eike Behrens was able to follow. Thanks in part to the efforts of Team Visma | Lease a Bike, the duo was brought back, leaving a reduced peloton to battle it out on the final uphill kilometer. Hagenes fought his way to fourth place behind Van der Poel, while Piganzoli crossed the line in tenth.

"I’m happy with my performance. This was the best I could do today", Hagenes said afterward. "A finish like this suits me really well. My teammates had full confidence in me and made sure I was in a good position heading into the final meters. I gave it everything I had, but I just wasn’t strong enough to win."

Sports director Sierk Jan de Haan looked back on a successful opening day. "We really wanted to go for the sprint with Per, and thanks in part to the strong teamwork, we were able to do that. Per was also very strong in the finale and finished fourth against a strong field. That gives both him and the team a huge confidence boost heading into the next few days."

Tomorrow is likely to end in a bunch sprint, while the following stages will feature more climbing. "We’re aiming for a stage win. We’ve marked stages three and five because we’re very strong across the board as a team. In the time trial, we’ll go all-out and see where we stand in the overall standings. Davide is our leader, but Per should also be able to finish high."
