Denmark's Julius Johansen was the last rider to start the opening stage of O Gran Camiño, a 14.8-kilometre individual time trial in the city of A Coruña, but the 26-year-old was strong enough to secure both first place and the first victory of his career.
Second, 16 seconds back, in the largely urban test finishing near the ancient lighthouse of Torre de Hércules was Rafael Reis, Johansen's old teammate at Portu Anicolor Campicarn.
