Dubai, United Arab Emirates - September 01, 2019: Alexander Kristoff has won the second – and longest - stage of the Tour of Germany, a 202km route from Marburg to Göttingen. Second place went to Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida), third Yves Lampaert (Deceuninck - Quick Step). The standings are the same in the general classification where the Norwegian now leads by 10 seconds. Kristoff said: "I suffered all day. I fell back in the middle of the stage but then I managed to return to the group where, as the kilometers went by, I started to feel better. On the last ascent I lost contact again, but managed to get back on. In the sprint I felt really good. When Colbrelli jumped I was a bit boxed in, but then I managed to pass. He continued: "I haven’t won since Switzerland, before the Tour de France, where I wasn't at my best. Now, however, I am returning to good form as I aim for the world championship”.
