Briton Simon Yates, one of the candidates for the final victory, won the time trial of the second stage of the Tour of Italy on Saturday May 7 in the streets of Budapest in front of Mathieu van der Poel, who retains the pink jersey. The Dutchman, who was 14 seconds ahead after his success the day before, only conceded three on Yates and even beat specialist Tom Dumoulin, third, five seconds from this time of 9.2 km from postcard, between the emblematic monuments of the Hungarian capital.
