Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility) parlayed a long sprint into victory on the opening stage of O Gran Camiño, holding off Efapel’s Santiago Mesa and Giovanni Lonardi (Polti-VisitMalta) to claim the first leader’s jersey of the UCI 2.1 stage race.

Cort heads into stage 2 with a lead of four seconds over Mesa and six seconds on Lonardi in the general classification.
