Belgium's Jan Bakelants of the Radioshack Leopard team won the second stage of the Tour de France yesterday to take the overall race leader's yellow jersey by a margin of one second.
The 27-year-old, making his debut in the race, broke away from the pack and resisted a fightback from the leading members of the peloton to win the 156-kilometre ride across Corsica from Bastia to Ajaccio.
Bakelants edged out Slovakia’s Peter Sagan and Poland's Michal Kwiatkowski to replace Germany’s Marcel Kittel in yellow.u00a0
