Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike) stormed to victory atop the Alto del Castillo on stage 1 of Vuelta a Burgos as the Dutch team dominated the opener, also finishing in second through Ben Tulett on the vicious final ramp.
The British Visma pair had their teammates pace for the majority of the 165-kilometre stage to bring back a four-rider breakaway, which was close – only catching them in the final 2km – but ultimately left them well positioned for the short but steep climb to the line in northern Spain.
