Julien Vermote wins Stage 2 of 2016 Tour of Britain in Kendal

The Etixx Quick-Step rider was among the survivors of a 15-rider breakaway on the 188-kilometre stage from Carlisle and was joined by Dimension Data man Cummings, who had broken away on the climb of The Struggle, and was an aggressive presence throughout the run in to Kendal.

Julien Vermote wins stage 2 after being out front all day and then being able to hold onto a flying Steve Cummings

“I knew once the break it had gone it would be very difficult to catch us or if they did catch us they would have wasted a lot of energy as well,” said the 27-year-old Vermote afterwards.
“Once I saw Cummings coming back I knew I had to stay in his wheel because once he gets a little gap he’s gone. We had good co-operation between us but I’m really glad I could take the Stage win.”

Steve Cummings crosses the line second and yet again showing what an astute tactian and classy bike rider he is.

After starting in clear conditions in front of large crowds in Carlisle, the first half of the stage was run off in sunny conditions, with the strong 15-rider lead group containing overnight leader and Stage One winner Andre Greipel, Team Sky’s Nicolas Roche and Vermote.

Once through Keswick and over the second SKODA King of the Mountains climb of Chestnut Hill the rain and mist set in with the, much anticipated, climb of The Struggle out of Ambleside proving decisive.

Dan Martin crosses the line in third celebrating Vermote’s win

Dimension Data’s Mark Cavendish led the peloton onto The Struggle, just over a minute and a half down on the fracturing front group as Vermote and Roche went clear from the break with Xandro Meurisse, Bert-Jan Lindemann and Trek Segafredo stagiare Jacopo Mosca.

First to bridge across was BMC’s former World Hour Record holder Rohan Dennis with an impressive ride, making six in front on the descent, with a chase group of ten led by Cummings and Ben Swift behind. Under pressure from Cummings and Gallopin that group dissolved, with Cummings going on to make it across.

After attacking the chase group, Mark Christian was caught and dropped and finished 13th but a super ride nonetheless

The Brit put in several attacks on the rolling Crook road from Windermere towards Kendal, with Vermote the only rider able to follow him. The pair built a 40-second gap as they approached 5-kilometres to go, the majority of that work done by Cummings as with Dan Martin behind Vermote was content to bide his time until the finale on Beast Banks.

With Cummings leading up the climb, Vermote surged past on the outside as the gradient eased going into the final 200-metres, crossing the line with a 2-second advantage over Cummings, good enough for a six second lead overnight going into Stage Three in Cheshire.

First British based rider Edmund Bradbury crosses the line ahead of Erick Rowsell and Edmund’s teammate Ian Bibby. All are in the top 20 on GC.

The win was Vermote’s first since his victory in Brighton during the 2014 Tour of Britain, when he won alone at the end of another arduous stage.

“I asked the team to come here, I knew it wasn’t originally in the programme but I knew there would be some opportunities,” said Vermote reflecting on his win. “It’s an open race with only 6 riders per team so that makes it different to all the other races. It’s a really tough race though, small roads and up and down all day but I’m just really happy I took my chance.”

Behind Vermote on the General Classification is Cummings at six seconds, with Dan Martin third at 1-minute 04-seconds, before Meurisse, Swift and Tony Gallopin all a further four seconds in arrears, while only the top-12 riders remain within three minutes of the Yellow Jersey presented by Eisberg.

Russell Downing’s determined ride all the way to the line

Stage One winner Greipel moved into the Yodel Sprints jersey after taking a clean sweep of the intermediate Yodel Sprints in Hesket Newmarket, Cockermouth and Grasmere, and Wanty Group Gobert’s Meurisse took the lead in the SKODA King of the Mountains jersey.

Highlights from Stage Two are on ITV4 at 8pm on Monday 5 September, with a repeat at Midday on Tuesday 6 September.

Stage Three sees Cheshire East host their first ever stage of the Tour of Britain, with Congleton hosting the start and Tatton Park outside Knutsford the stage finish, which the race will pass through at around 1pm, before returning for an expected finish at around 3.15pm.

Preview

Cumbria will host an entire stage of the Tour of Britain for only the second time, building on the success of the 2013 stage between the same two locations. In recent years the likes of Carlisle, Kendal, Cockermouth and Hartside Fell have all hosted Starts or Finishes within the county. The stage finish in Kendal comes atop the climb of Beast Banks, as used in the 2013 edition of the race. Stage Two will pass through a number of the communities hit by flooding ast December including Pooley Bridge, Cockermouth, Keswick and Kendal to name but some.

This second stage is in the Lake District so its fair to assume its going to be hillier than stage 1. Its a classic style course with lots of short steep climbs before the longer climbs come near the end of the stage. The final KoM is a cat 1 whilst the first two are cat 2 climbs and they all come in the second half of this 188 kilometre stage. An insider at the race, route director, says the final climb, the Struggle, is one of the hardest climbs they have included in the Tour of Britain which means it will be tough. The finish is another 30 kilometres but the manual says the last 500 metres is a Beast, or Beast Banks to give it its name!  “Final 500m ascends a very steep climb (11%), Finish is 50m beyond 2013 Finish Line” says the manual so again, those able to power up a short climb will be the favourites.
