Thibau Nys has received the second stage at the Tour of Norway in Stavanger. Edward Planckaert of Alpecin-Deceuninck was second, whereas Ben Tulett, who stays the GC chief, sprinted to third.
Rasmus Tiller (Uno-X) tried an early assault on the ultimate kilometers, however Trek-Segafredo maintained a excessive sufficient tempo to stop Tiller from gaining a large enough hole to keep away.
In the dash, there was little question about who was the strongest, and the Belgian prodigy Thibau Nys (Trek-Segafredo) secured his first skilled victory.
“I’m so happy to finally get the win; I was so close a lot of times this year. The team did an amazing job to get me in the front and get me in position, keeping everyone together. Jasper (Stuyven) did a hell of a lead-out to put me in the front, and I knew that my finish was in the last corner. I felt when I accelerated that no one was able to come close,” Nys stated.
“I knew that once I got here across the nook, I had to give it all the things instantly and check out to open up a niche as a result of I’m fairly explosive on a end like this. Then I may explode a bit on the final 50m as a result of the hole was large enough.
“I think it’s going to be difficult (to win the GC) tomorrow, but we’ll try. The last couple of days have been perfect already, so we’ll just try to make a nice end of it and try to go for the stage as well. I hope I can stay like this because I’m feeling great, I’m feeling super happy in the team, I’m living a good life at the moment.”
Thibau Nys launched an enormous dash to win Stage 2 at the @tourofnorway 💥
That’s a first pro win for the Trek-Segafredo rider 🏆
