March 22/21 11:56 am - Volta Ciclista a Catalunya: Stage 1
Posted by Editoress on 03/22/21
Twenty two year old, Danish rider, Andreas Kron (Lotto-Soudal), positioned himself as the leader after winning the opening stage. His victory came as results of the sprint ahead of a late group of escapees, beating, at the line, veteran Luis León Sánchez (Astana). WIth tomorrow's time trial likely to define the general classification, Kron's win may be his only chance to wear the leaders jersey.
Of the five Canadians entered, Mike Woods (Israel Start-up Nation) was the top Canuck in thirty-sixth at 16s back.
