The opening stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas was dominated by a two-rider breakaway, 19-year-old Oda Aune Gissinger (Hitec Products-Fluid Control) and 20-year-old Irene Cagnazzo (Vini Fantini-BePink). The duo spent almost 110km at the front of the race and would earn appearance on the podium, however, it would be a veteran sprinter to show them how a race is won.
The pair were reeled in 17km from the finish to set up a bunch sprint. Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) earned the victory. Since Wiebes is so dominant in the sprint, breakaways may be the only option for other teams to find success in the first three days of the race.
