Oier Lazkano wins stage 1 of Boucles de la Mayenne
Movistar rider takes race lead as breakaway sticks

Oier Lazkano (Movistar) claimed the lead of the Boucles de la Mayenne after riding away from his breakaway companions to win stage 2.
The Spaniard was part of a five-man escape that gained enough time to stay away. Lazkano left his companions behind on the final lap to solo to victory. Célestin Guillon (Van Rysel-Roubaix Lille Métropole) stayed clear for second along with Jacob Hindsgaul (Uno-X), who finished third.
Maël Guégan (CIC U Nantes Atlantique) and Thomas Devaux (St Michel-Mavic-Auber93), who also were in the day's breakaway, were dropped and caught by the peloton before the finish.
Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) led the bunch sprint to the line in fourth.
Earlier in the stage, prologue winner Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates) came under attack by challengers Benoît Cosnefroy and Axel Zingle, but he matched his rivals. The five-man move went clear afterward, gaining almost five minutes
Lazkano finished with 41 seconds over the Oliveira group to take the race lead by 42 seconds over the Portuguese rider. Hindsgaul is third at 43 seconds with Zingle and Cosnefroy at 44 and 45 seconds, respectively.
