Editor's tip: On day two follows a classic Dutch sprint stage from Arnhem to Nijmegen. 190 mostly flat kilometers will help the riders get ready for the first Grand Tour of the year and the neopros can shed their first nervousness here. There will almost certainly be a mass sprint at the finish line. As with all classic sprint stages this year, the absolute top favorite is undoubtedly Marcel Kittel (Etixx – Quick-Step). The 27-year-old has regained his old strength after moving away from Giant-Alpecin, harmonizes almost perfectly with his sprint train and has already shown several times that he is currently the strongest sprinter in the peloton.
