Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) claimed victory in the opening stage of the Tour of Guangxi in Fanchenggang, China, after a crash near the front in the final 500m split the field.
Magnier surged past his remaining rivals on the left-hand side of the road with a pace that couldn't be matched while others who had been caught up in the mayhem behind picked themselves up off the tarmac and wondered what could have been.
