Ineos Grenadiers missed out on a second consecutive victory on stage 2 of the Tour of the Alps after the early breakaway’s stayed away, despite the British team leading the chase for much of the 190km stage. 

With no other teams prepared to offer help with the chase, and the breakaway riders putting up a fight, Ineos Grenadiers eased up with 20km to go knowing the win was no longer possible.
