C’est Petr Vakoc (Etixx QST), 23 ans, le champion de la République Tchèque qui a remporté la 2ème étape du Tour Of Britain cet après midi à Colne. Il devance en solitaire l’Espagnol Juan Jose Lobato Del Valle (Movistar) et le Norvégien Edvald Boasson Hagen (MTN Qhubeka).
Une étape nerveuse dès les premiers km avec tout d’abord Peter Williams (One Pro Cycling) et Alex Dowsett (Movistar) qui mettent le feu aux poudres. Le duo aura plus de 4 min d’avance mais le peloton emmené par les SKY du leader Viviani rejoint les fuyards à 50 km du finish.
Dès lors, sur les pentes de Bleara Moor, 8 hommes s’extirpent du peloton avec Stefan Küng (BMC), Alex Peters (Grande-Bretagne), Vakoc (Etixx) Alberto Bettiol (Cannondale-Garmin), Wout Poels (Sky), Pim Ligthart, Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka) et Rubén Fernandez (Movistar ).
Ils vont prendre rapidement 40 sec d’avance sur ce qui reste du peloton décimé sur cette étape difficile. Le leader Elia Viviani n’est pas dans ce groupe de contre et pointe à plus de 20 min des fuyards.
Mais à 15 km, Vakoc décide de partir seul, il ne sera jamais rejoint et l’emporte avec 7 sec d’avance sur Lobato Del Valle . Le Tchèque fait coup double puisqu’il prend le général par la même occasion.
