Hans Dekkers (Rabobank) has won the second stage of the Tour de Normandie in a bunch sprint, beating race leader Martin Garrido (Duja - CC Tavira) and stage 1 winner Stéphane Bonsergent (CC Nogent-sur-Oise) in Elbeuf sur Seine. Garrido kept the leader's jersey.

Allan Bo Andresen (Team Designa Kokken (Des), Elnathan Eizmann (Team Comnet Senges) and Yves Delarue (Normandie) broke away after about 25km into the race. They were reabsorbed at km 108. Bonsergent's team, CC Nogent Sur Oise, rode an incredibly strong tempo all day long, keeping the race sealed up for their sprinter. But after some aggressive racing in the final 25 km, Team Rabobank successfully led out their top sprinter, Hans Dekkers, for the stage win.

Tomorrow's stage is a 201 km and looks to be another aggressive day of crosswind racing.
