Tom Van Asbroeck (Team LottoNL – Jumbo) zwyciężył na drugim etapie Tour du Poitou Charentes i został nowym liderem wyścigu.
Drugi dzień ścigania we francuskiej etapówce przyniósł etap z La Rochelle do Niort o długości prawie 180 kilometrów. Na kolarzy czekały trzy górskie premie, ale w końcówce etapu było także kilka nieoznaczonych podjazdów.
Bezpośrednio po starcie na atak zdecydowali się: Pierre-Luc Perichon (Fortunéo – Vital Concept), Thierry Hupond (Delko-Marseille-Provence-KTM), Sander Helven (Topsport Vlaanderen – Baloise) i Félix Pouilly(Roubaix Métropole Européenne de Lille). Na górskich premiach przewodził Helven.
Pod koniec etapu z peletonu skontrowali Pierre Gouault (HP BTP-Auber 93) i Thierry Hupond (Delko-Marseille-Provence-KTM), ale 10 kilometrów przed metą wszystko się zjechało.
Na ostatnim podjeździe zaatakował Patrick Gretsch (Ag2r La Mondiale), a po chwili dołączył do niego Francisco Jose Ventoso (Movistar). Dwójka jednak nie miała szans z rozpędzonym peletonem.
W sprincie najszybszy okazał się Tom Van Asbroeck (Team LottoNL – Jumbo). Na kolejnych miejscach uplasowali się Włosi Manuel Belletti (Wilier – Southeast) i Marco Benfatto (Androni Giocattoli – Sidermec).
Na finiszowych metrach miała miejsce kraksa, w której uczestniczyli między innymi Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) i Rudy Barbier (Roubaix Métropole Européenne de Lille).
