Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) attacked on the final ascent of the day to solo to victory on stage 2 of the Tour du Limousin-Périgord - Nouvelle Aquitaine. Timing his attack perfectly, Baudin was able to navigate the tricky descent under pelting rain in the tricky descent to the finish line in Terrrason-Lavilledieu.

Alexis Guérin (Philippe Wagner-Bazin), who spent most of the day in the breakaway, held on to second place, 24 seconds back, just as the peloton was reeling him back. Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) took third.
