You could say Marcel is back, because with this big win he has closed a difficult chapter of his career. Already on the first stage, the time he set in the individual time trial suggested that Etixx\u2013Quick-Step was planning to grab the pink jersey. Thanks to the time bonus for winning the sprint, Marcel drew level with Tom Dumoulin, and if he can repeat yesterday&#8217;s result on the next stage, he will travel to Italy in pink.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5350\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5350\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5350\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-KITTEL-Marcel324p.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-KITTEL-Marcel324p.jpg\" alt=\"7 May 2016 99th Giro d'Italia Stage 02 : Arnhem - Nijmegen 1st : KITTEL Marcel (GER) Etixx - Quickstep Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA\" width=\"570\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27570%27%20height%3D%27379%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20570%20379%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27570%27%20height%3D%27379%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-KITTEL-Marcel324p-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-KITTEL-Marcel324p.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7 May 2016<br \/> 99th Giro d&#8217;Italia<br \/> Stage 02 : Arnhem &#8211; Nijmegen<br \/> 1st : KITTEL Marcel (GER) Etixx &#8211; Quickstep<br \/> Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After stage 2, though, to the locals&#8217; delight, the pink jersey was proudly worn by Dutchman Tom Dumoulin!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5351\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5351\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5351\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-DUMOULIN-Tom312p.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-DUMOULIN-Tom312p.jpg\" alt=\"7 May 2016 99th Giro d'Italia Stage 02 : Arnhem - Nijmegen DUMOULIN Tom (NED) Giant - Alpecin, Maglia Rosa Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA\" width=\"570\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27570%27%20height%3D%27379%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20570%20379%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27570%27%20height%3D%27379%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-DUMOULIN-Tom312p-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sample-DUMOULIN-Tom312p.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7 May 2016<br \/> 99th Giro d&#8217;Italia<br \/> Stage 02 : Arnhem &#8211; Nijmegen<br \/> DUMOULIN Tom (NED) Giant &#8211; Alpecin, Maglia Rosa<br \/> Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On stage 3 we should again expect a sprinters&#8217; showdown!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured image: <em>Yuzuru SUNADA<\/em><em>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.yuzurusunada.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Inside post thumbnail image:\u00a0<em>Yuzuru SUNADA<\/em><em>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.yuzurusunada.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to the Japanese photographer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yuzuru SUNADA<\/a> for permission to use his works in our publications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated from Georgian with the assistance of Claude (Anthropic), reviewed by the Velorbola editors.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cycling festival in the Netherlands continues: yesterday, May 7,  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[347],"tags":[597,596,423,522],"class_list":["post-7115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-road","tag-giro-2016","tag-giro-ditalia","tag-marcel-kittel","tag-tom-dumoulin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Giro&#039;s Second Dutch Stage &#8211; Velorbola<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The cycling festival in the Netherlands continues: yesterday, May 7, the second of the Giro&#039;s three planned stages abroad took place.
