Coming from behind is a bit of risk but I found my way through the barrier and came with a lot of speed and it worked in the end.“The first [Tour de France wins] ones were really special but it’s the biggest race in the world and it’s the one every rider wants to win at and I’m so happy to get another win and prove that last year wasn’t just a fluke.“With the calibre of sprinting here it’s always going to be hard but we have a few more opportunities and I think we’ll take them when they come.”Having lost two team-mates — John Degenkolb and Philippe Gilbert — following a disappointing opening stage in Nice on Saturday, Ewan started this hilly 198-kilometre stage through the Alpine foothills with fewer support riders than his rivals.However, Ewan was delivered to the finishing line before the tiny sprinter, racing into a headwind, used his diminutive frame to his advantage.Weaving his way through a tightly packed field, Ewan took the stage ahead of Irish national champion  Perez now leads the virtual mountains classification by two points.Must admit, I was very surprised to see that Matthews who is in fine form right now, was not selected for this year's Tour. .We rely on advertising to help fund our award-winning journalism.We urge you to turn off your ad blocker for The Telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future.
