The second stage of the Tour de France 2017 was a 203.5 km flat route from Düsseldorf to Liège, Belgium. The stage was expected to end in a bunch sprint, but a crash in the final kilometers disrupted the lead-out trains and split the peloton. Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) emerged as the fastest sprinter, beating Arnaud Démare (FDJ) and André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) to the line. Kittel claimed his 10th Tour de France stage win and moved up to third place in the general classification, behind Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) and Stefan Küng (BMC Racing). Thomas retained the yellow jersey after finishing safely in the main group, while Taylor Phinney (Cannondale-Drapac) kept the polka dot jersey as the best climber.
