Although stage 2 was the 'easiest' of the Itzulia Women, it still saw plenty of action, and a three-rider breakaway animated the flattish final of the stage. Mareille Meijering (Movistar), Silke Smulders (Liv-AlUla-Jayco), and Rosita Reijnhout (Visma-Lease a Bike) almost made to the finish but were caught only 200 metres from the line.
Smulders was the first of the three to go on the move, bridging to the earlier breakaway and attacking again when that group was brought back.
