Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel has won the hilly second stage of the Tour de France after holding off defending champion Tadej Pogačar and two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard in a sprint to the line.

Van der Poel wrote that the partnership is focused on performance rather than luxury, noting that he always tries to make "responsible choices" regarding the environment. "This partnership isn't about luxury, it's about performance, recovery, and the kind of support that helps me give 100% every time I show up," he wrote.
