It's the first (and often best) GT of the season!

Stage 2 : Tirana, 14 km (Saturday 10, dep. 13h55, ETA 17h15)

Time trial. 15 points to the winner.

Delays: 30%.


Standings after stage 1:

Pedersen (๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Lidl-trek), Van Aert (๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช Visma), Aular (๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Movistar) scored the time bonuses at finish.

A bunch of more than 30 riders in the same time follows, including the vast majority of designed/potential GC leaders.

I didn't believe that Pedersen (๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Lidl-trek) would be that close to keeping his leader jersey!

I think that the slope in the TT course is what was ridden today as the downhill after the 'Redbull km' sprint.
