Stage 1 achieved: sucking wheels day with a brutal final! Nelson Snyder is the leader today!

The first ever Blue Jersey is assigned to Nelson Snyder after a huge effort made along with Pino Ferrari who did second. Third Karel Sousek. Great start of the Tour today, with 27 users at starting line and all of them finished the race.

We saw immediately 2 main groups, with the first one full of Category A+ riders and some from A and B. In the Group 1 Nelson, Pino and Karel made a different pace at the end and went alone till the finish line. The final sprint was won by Nelson but with the rule of the 10 second for group arrival, Nelson, Pino and Karel today had the same time.

Pino is the leader of the Red Jersey, for the Points Ranking and he is the leader of the Category A.

Category B leader is Markus Blum from Germany, for Category C is the Sicilian Alberto Marullo, for the Category D is Aaron Dutton from United States.

All the results are published on the "Stages and Results" page.

Tomorrow a very particular ITT!
