Volta ao Algarve: Filippo Ganna given leader’s jersey after opening stage is cancelled due to bizarre misdirection of peloton

Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) initially won the opening stage at the Volta ao Algarve after a bizarre final that saw the majority of the peloton enter the final stretch on the wrong side of the roadside median and barriers, through an unblocked deviation, and attempt to sprint among the crowds of fans lined up to watch the race at the finish line in Lagos.

Race organisers later announced that they had cancelled the stage due to the confusion that occurred in the final few hundred metres of the 192.2km race from Portimão to Lagos.
