Canadian Gabriel Tilli of Ignite Cycling had a great day on Friday in Spain. He took the win, and with it, the leader\u2019s jersey at Stage 1 of the Vuelta Ciclista Junior a la Ribera del Duero. The day\u2019s racing covered 85 km from Sotillo de la Ribera to Ba\u00f1os de Valdearados.<\/p>\n
The opening stage featured narrow streets and several technical sections. Early attacks saw Swedish rider Fillip Pantzare lead solo before a group of seven bridged to him. That eventually formed a ten-rider break. Later moves from Ra\u00fal L\u00f3pez and Marius Retho reshuffled the leaders, leaving seven in contention with 7 km remaining. The peloton threatened but the break worked together until the finish. A sharp left turn and uphill finish saw Tilli take the sprint, beating Spain\u2019s Mauro Iglesias and Britain\u2019s Louis Herring.<\/p>\n
This adds to another great result for the Quebec rider, after some impressive results at the recent Tour de l\u2019Abitibi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stage 2 goes from Langa de Duero to Laguna Negra for a total of 117 km.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
