That was just a fraction of second quicker that Noa Isidore (UV Aube Junior), with Mil Morang (UC Dippach) in 3rd at 15 seconds.

This year's Tour Centre Alsace Junior - which is just two stages both held today - is the first edition of the event. After his win in the TT this morning, Scully went into the 110km stage 2 road race in the leader's jersey.

More to come.
