BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) — Them two again. It took only two days into the Tour de France to show that Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are in a class of their own.

It took only two days into the Tour de France to show that Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are in a class of their own.

The move meant that Pogacar took the leader's yellow jersey from Stage 1 winner Romain Bardet. Primoz Roglic, another expected overall contender, dropped 21 seconds behind. “Honestly speaking, I didn’t have a good preparation for this race,” Vingegaard said. “I only had 1 1/2 months to prepare properly,” adding that the race “went way better” than he “had ever expected.”The 199-kilometre route starting in Cesenatico featured six categorized climbs, including two ascents up San Luca before the finish in downtown Bologna.

In the overall standings, second-place Remco Evenepoel — the 2022 world champion and Spanish Vuelta winner — and third-place Vingegaard share the same time as Pogacar. Olympic gold medallist Richard Carapaz is fourth, also with the same time, while Bardet dropped to fifth, six seconds behind.Vauquelin clocked nearly five hours and finished a comfortable 36 seconds ahead of Jonas Abrahamsen and 49 seconds ahead of Quentin Pacher.
