Albasini won the 1st stage of Volta a Catalunya (138,9 km with departure and arrival in Calella) reaching lonely the finish line.
He completed an attack that had begun with 5 riders had obtained a top advantage of more than 4′.
Cunego and all Lampre-ISD cyclists reached the arrival in the main group, at 1’32” to the winner (Mori 12th).
“The possible solution of the race on such hilly course was a breakaway or a sprint, if the sprinters’ teams would have controlled the bunch – Lampre-ISD’s sport director explained – When the breakaway began, no top sprinter’s team led the chase, so the attackers could complete their action. Our team’s goal for this stage was to support Cunego in the group, waiting for tomorrow race: Alt dels Angels climb at 10 km to go could be an interesting point for Damiano”.
