Don't miss a moment from Paris-Roubaix and Unbound Gravel, to the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, Vuelta a España, and everything in between when you join Outside+.

Belgian breakaway specialist Thomas De Gendt scored big on Monday in the opening stage of Volta a Catalunya in Spain. With a solo attack, 60km from the finish, De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) rode alone to victory and took the race’s first leader’s jersey in Calella, Spain.

“On the first day, there is no GC leader yet, so then it is difficult to find a team willing to lead the chase,” De Gendt said. “For the sprinters, it was a bit too tough today and I responded well to that. On top of that, I think the GC riders will not care too much about me.”

Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) was second, riding in alone, and Grega Bole (Bahrain-Merida) finished third in stage 1.

After infiltrating a six-man breakaway, De Gendt’s winning move began on Port de Santa Fe, the second categorized climb of the day. He went over the top of the 18.6km ascent with Luis Angel Mate (Cofidis), who is also a danger-man in the breakaways.

At that point, they led the peloton by about 3:10.

On his way up the day’s next climb, a combination of Alt El Muntanya and Col de Formic, De Gendt decided to set off alone after sprinting for king of the mountains points.

“I was riding at a very high pace [on Port de Santa Fe], hoping the strongest would survive, but only Luis Maté was able to follow,” De Gendt said. “However, he could not take the lead anymore and he just stayed in my wheel until the next hill, the Col Formic. Because I knew Maté really was at his limit, I attacked again and he had to let go.”

De Gendt did an impressive job of holding the peloton at arm’s reach, keeping his gap at over three minutes until the final kilometers.

Toward the end, the peloton picked up the pace and brought him in to 2:42 by the end of the 163.7km stage

“I was surprised the gap didn’t come down,” De Gendt said. “I was at the limit of my endurance but when I was getting closer I just had to carry on.”

Like Monday’s race, stage 2 will also feature a hilly profile with three categorized climbs on the 166.7km route from Mataró to Sant Feliu de Guixols.

“Tomorrow I should keep the leader’s jersey, but I suppose I will not be able to follow the top riders on the next day,” De Gendt added.
