57th Tour du Limousin-Périgord – Nouvelle Aquitaine 2024 🇫🇷 (2.1) ME – Stage 2 – Saint-Aulaye-Puymangou – Terrasson-Lavilledieu : 193,8 km
Tour du Limousin is a 4-day road bicycle race held annually in Limousin, France. It was first held in 1968 and since 2005 it has been organised as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. In 2011 it was upgraded to an 2.HC event, and downgraded to 2.1 since 2013. Between 1968 and 1974 it was an amateur race.
Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) attacked on the final ascent of the day to solo to victory on stage 2 of the Tour du Limousin-Périgord – Nouvelle Aquitaine. Timing his attack perfectly, Baudin was able to navigate the tricky descent under pelting rain in the tricky descent to the finish line in Terrrason-Lavilledieu.
Alexis Guérin (Philippe Wagner-Bazin), who spent most of the day in the breakaway, held on to second place, 24 seconds back, just as the peloton was reeling him back. Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) took third.
Eight riders broke away early in the 193.8km stage, establishing a lead of over two minutes from the relaxed peloton. In the final 30 kilometres, more riders, including Guérin, bridged the gap to join the breakaway before the peloton closed in.
Baudin takes over the yellow jersey with a 29-second lead on overnight leader Orluis Aular (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) who finished fifth on stage 2. Alex Zingle (Cofidis) sits in third, 33 seconds down.
