Jasper Philipsen<\/a> blasted to victory<\/a> on the opening stage of the 2025 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a in Novara to take the first leaders’ red jersey of the 80th edition.<\/p>\n

His Alpecin-Deceunick team put on a lead-out clinic to see their leader bounce back after his Tour de France disappointment to take the win ahead of Ethan Vernon (Israel-Premier Tech) and Orluis Aular (Movistar).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Philipsen leads the race by four seconds ahead of Vernon, with Soudal-QuickStep’s Pepijn Reinderink taking advantage of bonus seconds from the breakaway to sneak onto the GC podium.<\/p>\n

By virtue of winning the first stage, Philipsen also leads the points classification, although Vernon will babysit the green points jersey on the second stage. The Brit also leads the youth classification.<\/p>\n

Italian Alessandro Verre crested the only categorised climb in first place on stage one to go into the lead of the KOM classification, while Q36.5 lead the team competition as two of their riders made it into the top-10 on the stage.<\/p>\n
