Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) came out on top on the opening stage of the Renewi Tour, edging out Olav Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM) in a bunch sprint at the end of a messy and sodden day of racing.

With so few sprint opportunities on offer at the Vuelta a España, the Renewi Tour has attracted a stellar list of sprinters and they were all to the fore on the opening day.

As they took the bell lap with 16km to go, the gap was inside one minute and it continued to tumble on the approach to the final ascent of the Grasbos, where the attacks flew. Red Bull lit it up through Laurence Pithie and Tim Van Dijke, before Florian Vermeersch (UAE Team Emirates) drove the attack clear, aided by a split caused by a crash from a Tudor rider going around an uphill bend in around 10th position. Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Intermarché) and a rider from Lidl-Trek completed the a five-man group as it went clear, with Milan scrambling on his own behind before slotting back into the bunch.
