Back to 2014 Volta a Catalunya

Tuesday, March 25: Stage 2, Mataró - Girona, 168 km

42.386 km/hr average speed. 176 riders started, 171 classified finishers.

The Race: A wet, cold day. A early break of six riders never got much of a lead. From that group, with about 25 kilometers to go Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) took off alone. it looked like France's number one escape artist might make his attack stick, but he was caught with about five kilometers remaining. Not bad for a rider who fractured his clavicle at the Tour Down Under in January.

The peloton was together for another sprint and Luka Megec won his second consecutive stage.

Richie Porte (Sky) abandoned.
