Tyler Williams (L39ION of Los Angeles) won stage 1 of the Joe Martin Stage Race, outsprinting breakaway partners Gage Hecht (Aevolo) and Oscar Sevilla (Team Medellin EPM) to the finish in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Hecht took second place in the same time as Williams, covering 114 miles in 4:07:57, with Sevilla trailing one second back for third.

"I'm pretty shocked with that ride! That was probably the best race I’ve ever ridden in my career,” Williams said. “I was with (Oscar) Sevilla with 90k to go on the climbs, really out of my element but kind of where I had always hoped I would be at some point. Went through some dark places to be able to come back and ride it to the finish and execute the win. It was super hot and super hard and I am beside myself happy."

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
