Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) won stage 1 of the Tour of Britain Women, winning the sprint of a front group of nine against with Letizia Paternoster (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) second and Pfeiffer Georgi (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) finishing third.

The British champion’s move on the second-category climb of Ty’n y Llidiart was what led to the front group of nine riders getting away.
