Stage 2: Camaiore - San Gimignano
Tirreno-Adriatico 2026
Mathieu van der Poel took the wet gravel/hilly stage to San Gimignano in a reduced-group sprint, with Isaac del Toro second and Giulio Pellizzari third — same time. Del Toro took the leader's jersey from Ganna's Stage 1 ITT advantage.
§ 01 · The stage
Van der Poel on Italian gravel, Del Toro into the lead
206 km from Camaiore to San Gimignano in wet conditions; the closing hills produced a reduced front group. Van der Poel won the small-group sprint — a Strade Bianche dress rehearsal five days early.
§ 02 · GC impact
Del Toro into the jersey
Ganna's ITT margin couldn't survive the climbing-and-gravel selection. Del Toro becomes overall leader.
