Italy's Vincenzo Nibali launched a late attack to win stage two of the Tour de France in Sheffield on Sunday and claim the leader's yellow jersey. Hundreds of thousands of people again lined the 201km route from York on a brutal and unpredictable day of racing.
Nibali (Astana), the 2013 Giro d'Italia champion, left it late but timed his bid to the line to perfection to secure victory ahead of a number of his rivals for the overall title.
He also claimed the race leader's maillot jaune from the stage one winner Marcel Kittel (Giant-Shimano), who endured a difficult day.
