Kooij retained the leader's green jersey and extended his general classification lead to 14 seconds.Crabbe, of Team Flanders-Baloise, moved into second place, while Ineos Grenadiers' Watson is 16 seconds behind the leader in third."It was a bit harder than yesterday - we had to use a lot of power to make the sprint in the first place," said Kooij."I didn't look back but it felt like it wasn't as close as yesterday so I'm happy with that."The race suits me quite well. Another stage win after some hard work from the team so I'm really happy with that."Stage three takes place over 133.03km on Thursday between Milton Keynes and the Bedfordshire town of Ampthill.Hopes Tour of Britain will give economy big boostPublished3 SeptemberTour of Britain stage two result1.
