The Basque Country Grand Départ at the Tour de France hasn't been a disaster for Jumbo-Visma but the opening two stages haven't exactly gone to plan, either.

Sunday's second stage to San Sebástián concluded with sprinter Wout van Aert throwing his bidon to the ground after missing out on the chance to win for the second day in a row, this time just behind late escapee Victor Lafay (Cofidis).
