Isaac del Toro won Stage 2 of the Tour de France on the Montjuïc circuit in Barcelona for UAE Team Emirates-XRG, with Tadej Pogačar finishing second and Remco Evenepoel third, all credited the same time. Del Toro is a 22-year-old Mexican from Ensenada, Baja California, and teammates including Pogačar celebrated after the finish; photos and posts show Pogačar congratulating Del Toro. Del Toro overcame a mechanical issue that briefly cost time when his team car failed to assist, yet he recovered to take the stage. Alex Molenaar took the polka-dot points on the climb and the stage intermediate sprint, while Jonas Vingegaard kept the yellow jersey after the day. Del Toro now leads the points classification and is also listed for the white jersey, shifting the race leadership picture for sprinters and young rider standings going into Stage 3.
