Ethan Vernon (Israel Premier Tech) wins the second stage of the Volta a Catalunya from Banyoles to Figueres (180.5km).

The stage, quite simple, passes without any particular events, with weather conditions decidedly better than yesterday.

The compact group quickly approaches the finish line with the last 500 meters tending to climb slightly.

The teams struggle to organize themselves for the sprint, Vernon starts together with Groves , holds on in the lead and anticipates the return of Brennan who finishes 2nd.
