The Colombian cyclist Juan Sebastián Molano, a member of the UAE Team Emirates, remained as the leader of the general classification of the return to Belgium after being second in the mass sprint in which the second stage was defined, disputed between Beringen and Putte.
Moraco fought hand in hand with the Belgian Jasper Philipsen (Alcion), who won by thousandths of second in the arrival line. Jenno Berckmoes (Lotto), also from Belgium, completed the podium of the day, which consisted of 194.4 kilometers of extension and no mountain port.
In the first fraction of the Belgian round, played on Wednesday, Molano also achieved a second place. The results of both days of competition have allowed him to receive a total of 12 seconds in bonuses, which allowed him to climb to the first position of the general classification.
The Red Leader T -shirt belongs to the Boyacense pedalist – he was born in Paipa 30 years ago – by taking an advantage of just a second to his maximum persecutor, the Belgian Philipsen. The podium is completed by another Esprint specialist, Tim Merlier, from the Soudal-Quick Step.
It is expected that this Friday there will be several changes in the general classification, because after two flat stages, the third will be an individual counterreloj (9.7km between Tessenderlo and Ham), so the lead leadership would come to an end, because the battles against the clock are not one of its specialties.
