Ben Turner and Filippo Ganna maintained GC positions on stage two of the Baloise Belgium Tour, while the riders tackled the mountains at the Tour de Suisse.
Baloise Belgium Tour
Turner and Ganna managed to retain their top-10 positions on the GC in Belgium. Turner now sits eighth overall, nine seconds back on leader Sebastian Juan Molano (UAE Team Emirates – XRG), while Ganna is in 10th, 10 seconds behind.
A flat 194km stage saw frequent attacks but none which were able to stick for long. Good work from Omar Fraile and Salvatore Puccio supported the team, while a break of three were caught in the closing stages.
Breaks formed in the peloton in the run into the finish, with the Grenadiers pulling in the second part of the peloton and just missing the sprint into the finish.
Yesterday’s time bonuses from the Golden Kilometre sprints ensures Turner and Ganna remain in the top-10, with tomorrow’s time trial stage a fantastic opportunity for the team.
