Posted by Editoress on 05/8/26
Results from the first stage in Bulgaria.
Paul Magnier (Soudal-Quick Step) took the win on the opening stage and claimed the first pink jersey of 2026.
A late crash took down all but a dozen riders and resulted in the time for all riders to be registered as the same.
Derek Gee-West was the top Canadian in 54th.
