Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) lived up to the billing and narrowly held off Danny van Poppel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) to take victory on stage 1 of the CRO Race, outsprinting the Dutchman and the bunch to the line in Sinj.

Polti VisitMalta led things round the final bend with 250 metres to go, with pre-stage favourites Magnier, Van Poppel and Ben Turner (Ineos Grenadiers) all in contention and ready to strike, but once the Frenchman hit the front and opened up fully, no one could come around him.
