Gallery: Tour de France stage 2 – Standard Liège and Kittel’s Comeback

Teeming rain, the break caught within sight of the line and a sprinters’ battle royale: Düsseldorf to Liège had it all

Geraint Thomas Marcel Kittel Racing Tour de France 2017

Wheels on fire

Man machine

Marcel Kittel, top banana 

No motors on top of this motor

The unmistakable thighs of the world champion

Geraint Thomas still in the maillot jaune after stage 2

Hi Oscar! Hi Benedict!

Rouleur T-shirts 

Laurent Pichon and Yoann Offredo make the break

A cabriolet for, er, a sunny day… 

Celebrate, good times, come on

A cuddle for an emotional Marcel
