Benoît Cosnefroy (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) surged to a thundering victory on stage 2 of the Tour de Hongrie, with a long-range sprint to take him away from a group that had been formed by crosswinds in a thrilling finale to the stage.
The Frenchman made the first echelon in the wind with 25km to go, ripped up the group on a small climb with 17km to go, and sprinted away from it from over 500 metres out.
