Belgian Rider Takes Tour's Stage 2 Victory

Stage 2 of the Tour de France demanded some climbing ability from the riders. It was one of the earliest mountain stages I can remember, since normally the mountain stages don't come until a week or two into the race. But it didn't contain the really tough climbs (the category 1 or unrated climbs) so only the weakest climbers were punished, and over 90 riders were able to finish within a second of the winner. Here are the top three stage 2 finishers, and the current standing after two stages:
