The toughest stage awaits the peloton already on the first day here, featuring a challenging climb halfway through the race, as well as some uphill sectors until the final descending kilometres.
Still being rated flat, sprinters like Meyer, Guillén or Forero will fancy their chances today.
Three riders went clear early and were allowed a 4-minutes-gap quickly: Ahmad Zamri (also taking the first sprint), Sirionnachai and Fernandez.
Heavy crosswinds (up to 50kmh) will add some spice to the race today!
The peloton starts to chase with the gap growing over 5 minutes and still 70km remaining.. Alpina goes for a higher pace on today's toughest climb and there's a first split with 51 riders losing a bit of contact at this point:
Meyer, Vingerling, Guillén and Gavazzi amongst those, who seem to be "shocked" by this efforts from Alpina!
In the meantime, Fernandez took out the KoM-sprint ahead of Zamri and Sirio*** for the polka dot! Zamri though would also take the second intermediate sprint a few kilometres later.
Good news for Meyer/Vingerling, as the peloton would come together on the descend.. anyway, there are some smaller groups being dropped by a still notable pace, that narrowed the gap to the leading trio to 1'20" with now 19km to go.
Most notable names being dropped now: Awang, Gavazzi, Gajek, Tuulhangai. Those riders won't fight their way back to the bunch.
Speaking of fighting: Fernandez and Zamri dropped their former breakaway companion to hold on to a minutes-advantage with 12km remaining.. the wind blows at 63kmh in the meantime, a tough race this is.
Too tough for those teams, who still try to narrow the gap, it seems: ONCE and Vontobel with some riders at the front, but the bunch is down by 2'20" with now just 6km to go! This is looking good for the two remaining escapees to hold off the bunch..
..and even better for Fernandez, who drops Zamri a few kilometres to the line..
..to take out this opening stage: Fernandez wins by 39" on Ahmad Zamri! Given the latest gap on the peloton, this is definitely a huge step towards an unexpected GC-result.
Still ONCE and Vontobel leading the bunch into the final km, but there's no real trains at this point. Seems like the tough conditions made some riders really suffer today..
..and so Guillén grabs the minor bonifications as today's 3rd, crossing the line 1'56" behind Fernandez though! There was no sign of a true bunch sprint, so he took this podium quite uncontested.
So Fernandez is the first race-leader and looking at his 2'16"-advantage on Guillén, there's definitely a chance to hold on to yellow til the end. The peloton did struggle today, but thanks to "only" two riders finishing with a notable gap on the best sprinters, there are still some points up for grabs. And of course, anything can happen with still some days to come.
