Double victory for Vichot in Tour du Haut Var
Arthur Vichot (FDJ) won the second stage of the two-day Haut Var-martin race in south of France to take overall victory from stage one winner Tom-Jelte Slagter (Cannondale).
As there are no bonus seconds in the race, 10 riders ended equal on time and with a second and first place, Vichot had the lowest total of stage placings. That allowed him to also take the overall victory ahead of Herrada and Diego Ulissi, with Simon and Petr Vakoc (Etixx-QuickStep) completing the top 5.
Vichot also won the points classification while defending champion Gastauer was the best climber. Vakoc was the best young rider and Movistar was the best team.
