Narváez pips Sheehan after early celebration

On Friday's stage 2 of the Deutschland Tour, Riley Sheehan (Israel-Premier Tech) joined a long list of notables with the ignominious distinction of being beaten at the line after celebrating too early.

The lumpy stage in the UCI 2.Pro-rated event saw Sheehan, Jhonatan Narváez (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), and Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) leave the field behind in the final 10 km, leading to a three-rider sprint for the win. Sheehan launched first and led into the closing meters, where he began to raise his arms in celebration – only to watch Narváez surge past in the final moment.
