Steff Cras (TotalEnergies) out-sprinted Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates XRG) from a two-man breakaway on the hilly opening stage from Oviedo to Llanes. Soler's teammate Alessandro Covi was third from the group behind.
The result is the first win for Cras since his junior days, and represents a major coup for his French team, beating the one of the sport's top climbers and a rider from the world's most powerful team.
