Tour du Limousin 2022 – Stage 2 – Le Grand Périgueux Champcevinel – Ribérac : 184,7 km
Established in 1968, the Tour du Limousin is a four-day stage race that is held annually in the Limousin region of southwest-central France. Its varied parcours have suited a wide array of different riders over the years, but typically it favours rouleurs with a fast-finishing kick. The format of the race has remained pretty much the same since its inaugural edition, with four road stages in and around the Limousin region. None of these stages feature any mountains, but they do traverse some of the rolling hills which characterise this region of France. It’s these hills which routinely dictate the general classification year on year.
After coming third behind Julien Simon in the opening stage, Movistar’s Alex Aranburu got his victory in a hotly contested sprint in La Souterraine, just edging out Eduard Grosu (Drone Hopper-Androni) and Clement Venturini (AG2R Citroën).
Thanks to the time bonus, Aranburu moved into the overall race lead by four seconds over Simon,with Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates) in third at five seconds.
