In this massive episode of Backstage Pass we introduce for the first time cameras on race bikes following Simon Clarke and Simon Yates throughout the stage. It was a chaotic day again with massive crowds lining the roads for the 201km journey from York to Sheffield. Simon Gerrans felt the effects from the crash in stage 1 so all efforts were put into Michael Albasini who rode to 6th on the stage and climbed to 4th overall on general classification.
