Race Recap
Van Aert wins opening stage at Tirreno-Adriatico
Wout Van Aert (Team Jumbo-Visma) claimed victory on the opening stage of Tirreno-Adriatico today, sprinting to the finish line ahead of Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) and Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) after 156km of racing around Lido di Camaiore.
“I started my sprint at the right moment and I managed to keep my speed until the finish," Van Aert said. "I didn’t really expect to win today in such a fast sprint against Caleb Ewan. I was thinking of taking some time bonuses. I’m really happy and proud to finish off the work of the team.”
His stage win also places Van Aert in Maglia Azzurra as race leader. He also leads the points competition. Vincenzo Albanese (EOLO-Kometa Cycling Team) is in the maglia verde as the king of the mountains leader and Mattia Bais (Androni Giocattoli - Sidermec) is in white as the best young rider. \n
