Isaac del Toro made a daring late move in the final kilometre to take the second stage of the 2026 Tour de France on an uphill finish in Barcelona. The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider chased down late-attacker Matthias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), cornering at high speed with 500 metres to go and unleashing his acceleration. His team-mate Tadej Pogaar attacked from behind and had the beating of yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), but appeared to all his young colleague to take an historic victory in a UAE Team Emirates-XRG 1-2. Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) topped an impressive opening weekend by finishing third. Vingegaard remains in the yellow jersey of race leader, but Pogaar has closed the gap from twelve to six seconds, moving into second overall. Evenepoel now sits third, 15 seconds down. Del Toro claimed his first Tour de France stage win, and what's more, took Mexico's first win at the race in 36 years, since Ral Alcala claimed stage 7 in 1990.More to follow...
