Weather at the city of Biella, on the route, 5 km from the finish at 1:40 PM, local time: 18C (65F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the south-southeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is a 5% chance of rain.

The stage: Challenging stage featuring the first summit finish. After a flat run-up across Canavese and Vercellese areas the pink caravan will reach Valdengo, where a succession of minor climbs begins. A fast descent to Biella leads to the final ascent of Oropa on the “classic” route already tackled on several occasions by the Giro d’Italia. This is where things will kick-off.

Last kilometers:
The last 11 km are uphill, from Biella to the Sanctuary of Oropa. The first part has gentle gradients up to the village of Favaro, where the most unwelcoming sectors are reached (around 13%). The climb continues with numerous bends and slopes of around 9% until the final straight, 130 metres with porphyry paving 6.5 metres wide.

The race: Robert Gesink (Visma | Lease a Bike) did not start. He broke his hand in a crash late in stage one.

Tadej Pogacar signs in. What's his plan for the day's hilltop finish?

The race organizer posted this short report:

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) has won Stage 2 of the 107th Giro d’Italia, the 161km long San Francesco al Campo-Santuario di Oropa (Biella). Daniel Felipe Martinez (Bora – Hansgrohe) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) finished second and third respectively.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) becomes the new Maglia Rosa.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and new Maglia Rosa Tadej Pogacar said: “It’s a dream coming true, an amazing victory. After I had won at the Vuelta and the Tour, I made it to win a stage in all the Grand Tours. It’s not something that everybody has and it’s something big in cycling. I didn’t really get scared by the incident I had in town. It happened after a flat tyre because I wanted to stop before the corner. It wasn’t serious and the team brought me back quickly. I didn’t know the climb well but I think we had a good plan. I sped up after the last pull by Rafal Majka. I didn’t mind the time gap at the end. The dream was to take the Maglia Rosa and now I can relax for a few days”.

Early in the stage: A cloudy sky, but no rain.

And here's the Giro stage two report from winner Tadej Pogacar's UAE Team Emirates:

At 4.5 km to the finish line of stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia (161 km with start from San Francesco al Campo and summit arrival in Oropa) Tadej Pogačar started to build up his first victory in the race and the first Pink Jersey of his career.

The Slovenian rider attacked from the head of the peloton (5 riders main breakaway of the day neutralized in the early part of the final climb, 11.8 km at 6.1%), causing the reaction of Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R) who could not keep the pace of the UAE Team Emirates captain and had to give up soon the idea of following him.

Pogačar kept on pedaling on a high pace towards a solo victory, while behind him the main opponents gathered and tried to limit the gap: on the finish line, the Slovenian had an advantage of 27” on Daniel Martinez (2nd, Bora-hansgrohe) and on Gerraint Thomas (3rd, Ineos-Grenadiers), taking also his first Pink Jersey.

The stage evolution however had not been so smooth for UAE Team Emirates’ talent. In fact, at 11 km to go, at the foot of the climb to Oropa, he had a flat front wheel that also caused him to slip on the ground approaching a right turn (no consequences). Thanks to an immediate assistance from the team car, Pogačar changed his bike and, well supported by team mates, and could come back to the peloton.

Pogačar: “It’s a dream come true, this is my first win at the Giro and my first Pink Jersey. The team plan for the stage worked in a perfect way. I lead now the general classification with quite good gap and we can now enjoy the next stages.

I had a lot of motivation to try to get this win, an extra one was for trying to honor the memory of the young athlete from my cycling youth team who unfortunately passed away.”

Pogačar will wear the leadership symbol (in GC, +45” on Gerraint Thomas, 2nd, and on Daniel Martinez, 3rd) at the start of stage 3: 166 km of pretty easy course from Novara-Fossano.

For UAE Team Emirates, today’s success is number 31 in 2024, while the Pink Jersey comes back to an Emirati team’s rider 5 years later than the last one, who incidentally was another Slovenian cyclist, namely Jan Polanc (Giro d’Italia 2019 at the end of stage 12 Cuneo-Pinerolo).
