LIVE: Vuelta a España 2026 Stage 2: A day for the fast men who can climb?

Vuelta a España - Stage 2

Vuelta a España stage 2 takes the peloton from Monaco to Manosque over 215.2 kilometres. The long and constantly rolling route includes more than 3,100 metres of elevation gain, with early climbs likely to shape the breakaway before a gently rising finish that should favour durable sprinters and puncheurs. Follow the stage with our live timing and chat with other cycling fans from the start at 12:16 CEST, with the finish expected around 17:15 CEST.
