Huge upset in Libramont! Ben Oliver (Modern Adventure Pro Cycling) has taken his first-ever professional win on stage 2 of the Tour de Wallonie, beating the sprint favorites in a wet, chaotic finish. The Red Bull leadout looked dominant with Van Poppel delivering Meeus perfectly, but Oliver emerged from the pack to take it. Yorben Lauryssen and Riley Sheehan completed the podium. Meeus settled for 5th, hometown favorite De Lie 6th. Oliver also takes the GC lead, 2 seconds ahead of Hellemose after the bonus seconds from the stage win. What a day for the South African team.
