Brent Van Moer Wins Dauphine Opening Stage
Brent Van Moer won the first stage of the Critérium du Dauphine, a first career victory that saw him also take hold of the leader's jersey.
Belgium's Lotto rider Brent Van Moer won the first stage of the Critérium du Dauphine, a first career victory that
saw him also take hold of the leader's jersey.
Van Moer, part of an early breakaway with three others, resisted efforts to
reel him in by the main peloton which was left to mass sprint for second after
the 181.9km stage.
It was a stunning result for the 23-year-old, who crashed out of the 2020
Dauphine on the very first day last August. Italian Sonny Colbrelli came across the line in second, 25 seconds off the
pace.
Monday's second stage sees riders tackle a 173km course between Brioude and
Saugues, featuring two climbs in the final 15km. The Dauphine has six further stages and ends in the French alpine resort of
Les Gets on Sunday.
