Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) won the opening stage of the Tour de Wallonie, timing his powerful sprint to perfection in Lobbes after an attacking finale.
Two laps up the short but steep Mur de Thuin climb led the riders into the final 10km, and racing split up several times on Monday’s stage 1, with Krists Neilands (NSN) and Kim Heiduk (Netcompany Ineos) among the attackers.
