Luke Plapp (Jayco-AlUla) has begun his racing rebuild after wrist surgery and quickly found his way to the top step of the podium at the 2.1-ranked Tour of Hellas.
The opening day of racing in Greece was one for the sprinters but the climbing – and territory that suited Plapp – started on Thursday's 177km stage 2 which delivered 3,107m of elevation gain, with the biggest challenge being the 22km ascent to the finish line in Arachova.
