Fabio Jakobsen won stage two of road cycling's 2022 Tour de France on Saturday (2 July).

The 202.2km ride from Roskilde to Nyborg in Denmark, where this year's edition of the men's grand tour event is starting, saw several crashes.

Stage one winner Yves Lampaert of the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team fell on the 18km long Great Belt Bridge.

A large crash with less than 3km to the finish prevented several top names competing in the sprint finish, but Lampaert's teammate, Dutchman Jakobsen on his race debut, beat Wout van Aert to the line.

Belgian rider van Aert did enough to take the overall leader's yellow jersey.

The riders have their third and final Danish stage on Sunday, a 182km trip between Vejle and Sonderborg, before travelling to France on Monday.
