45th Ethias-Tour de Wallonie 2024 🇧🇪 (2.Pro) ME – Stage 2 – Saint-Ghislain – Ouffet : 188,25 km
Founded in 1974 but raced by amateurs until 1996, the Ethias Tour de Wallonie is a five-day stage race held in the French-speaking south of Belgium. The Wallonia region also plays host to one-day races, the Ethias Tour de Wallonie is characterised by an abundance of short, sharp climbs and rolling roads.
Corbin Strong completed a perfect day for Israel-Premier Tech by winning the bunch sprint on stage 2 of the Tour de Wallonie, also moving into the race leader’s orange jersey in Ouffet after a tough day of racing.
Strong was perfectly led out by Israel-Premier Tech, who were active throughout the day to keep things together for the versatile sprinter before leading him into the dragging uphill sprint finish, where he held off a charge from Emilien Jeannière (TotalEnergies). It was a double French podium on stage 2 as Jeannière was followed in by Paul Penhoët (Groupama – FDJ) who took his second third place in as many days.
Pre-stage race leader Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) struggled throughout the tougher 188.2km stage from Saint-Ghislain to Ouffet but managed to hang onto the back of the aggressive bunch heading into the finale. He moved up but ran out of steam to produce any sprint, only managing to finish in the bunch and ceding the race lead to Strong.
