00:51 - Stage one of the 107th edition of the Giro d'Italia,
01:10 a short, sharp stage.
01:12 In and around Turin with Tadej Pogacar
01:15 making his debut at the Giro d'Italia,
01:17 the favorite for the overall
01:19 and the favorites for the opening stage as well.
01:21 Eventually, after a bit of a 10 kilometer battle
01:31 to get in the breakaway, six riders did get up the road.
01:34 (upbeat music)
01:37 The first of the battles then
01:45 at the Bezzano di San Pietro climb
01:47 with the fast finishing Italian, Filippo Fiorelli
01:51 getting to the first King of the Mountains,
01:53 the Catfall climb in first place.
01:55 Three points then to Fiorelli
01:57 off in pursuit of the King of the Mountains competition.
02:00 But the bunch were keeping the breakaway
02:02 on a very, very tight leash.
02:05 Then at the first of the bonus sprints
02:07 at Moriondo Torinese, it was Fiorelli again
02:10 who won the first of the bonus sprints.
02:12 And still, UAE Team Emirates for Tadej Pogacar
02:16 were keeping the breakaway very tightly controlled.
02:19 Up and onto the famous Superga climb
02:24 on the day that the 75th anniversary commemoration
02:28 of the Grande Torino air disaster was being marked.
02:31 It was Emmanuel Gabreg Jabbier who went over the top
02:34 of the Cat 3 climb of Superga in first place.
02:38 Distancing the two Italians, Pietro Bon and Fiorelli,
02:42 he was joined by Lilian Cagnan in great form.
02:45 And those two riders went clear
02:47 on the descent off the Superga.
02:49 (upbeat music)
02:52 (upbeat music)
02:55 For the first time up the short, sharp Pivio di San Vito,
03:12 Gabreg Jabbier and Lilian Cagnan
03:14 were still off the front together
03:16 as they headed for the Colle Maddalena, the Cat 2 climb.
03:21 A little crash at the back delayed Domenico Pozzovivo,
03:24 among others, including Robert Hesink,
03:26 as the peloton started to break up under pressure.
03:29 They hit the climb, Lilian Cagnan aiming to get to the top
03:32 of the Colle Maddalena on his own
03:34 and claim the King of the Mountains jersey on stage one.
03:37 Trouble for Romain Bardet,
03:38 but ahead another Frenchman was within touching distance
03:43 of the King of the Mountains jersey,
03:44 over the top in first place and securing the lead
03:47 at the end of stage one in that competition.
03:49 (upbeat music)
03:52 Then on the descent of the Cat 2 climb,
04:02 successive groups of riders attacked Tadej Pogacar's team.
04:07 It was a Nicola Conci who opened up a 20 second advantage
04:11 over a chase group, including Damiano Caruso.
04:14 And Tadej Pogacar then on the Pivio di San Vito climb
04:18 attacked from almost the bottom.
04:20 One by one, he picked off the riders ahead of him
04:26 and Tadej Pogacar though, could not shake off
04:28 the Ecuadorian national champion from the Unidos Grenadiers,
04:31 Jonathan Navas.
04:32 Navas sticking to the wheel of Tadej Pogacar
04:36 over the top of the last difficulty
04:38 with three kilometers of the race to go.
04:40 And in the final few hundred meters,
04:41 they were joined by Max Schachmann of Bora Hansgrohe.
04:44 He opened up his sprint first, Pogacar responded,
04:46 Navas came off the wheel and out sprinted
04:49 both the other riders to take a famous victory in Turin
04:52 and with it, the Maglia Rosa.
04:53 A great win for Unidos Grenadiers,
04:55 a great win for Jonathan Navas.
04:58 (upbeat music)
05:01 Victory for second Giro d'Italia stage win
05:09 for Jonathan Navas, Geraint Thomas in 10th place,
05:12 and the Unidos Grenadiers taking the pink jersey
05:16 on the very first stage.
05:18 His lead of three seconds over Max Schachmann,
05:21 six seconds to Tadej Pogacar.
05:23 Also taking the lead in the points competition,
05:26 the Maglia Ciclamino, Lillian Calmejan
05:28 leads the King of the Mountains competition
05:30 by 10 points to Emmanuel Gbreg-Jabier.
05:33 And in the white jersey competition,
05:37 Alex Bourdin takes the lead for France.
