The race opens with a flat stage. Ivano Lo Cicero is the stand out sprinter - but he prefers it flat, and it isnt all that today. Mezgec, Docker, Bazajev, Park, Feillu and Lorenzetto are the leading contenders against the Italian.
A break of 4: Villella, Hivert, Huzarski and Tatarinov
Huzarski won both King of the Mountains prime to take the lead in the competition at the end of the stage.
Meanwhile with two intermediate sprints out on course, the 4 of them managed to split the rewards evenly - all taking 6 points/bonus seconds away from the day.
In the middle of the stage, airBaltic-Endura were playing a key role in chasing - supported by SRAM-Riboxx and PFG-Armavia. But after the climbs, they have been replaced by Rothaus-Aegon, Team UPC, and ING. Most notably, Bellis is relaying on the front.
Into the final 20 kilometres there does not appear to be any team chasing though. But the pace is clearly high enough overall, as the breakaway are caught.
And now in the final 10km, the sprinters don't know what to do. They are ready to ride at the front, but they'd still like to have some more riders infront of them at this stage!
Docker is 2nd wheel, with sprinters Mezgec, Feillu, Bazajev, Cucinotta lined up behind him. Lorenzetto, Bole and Van Poppel are well placed.
Alarm bells are ringing at the back of the peloton - Michael Rogers has been dropped!
Docker finds some support in team leader Konovalovas, who will lead out the sprint. Following Docker now are Van Poppel, Lorenzetto, Feillu, Bazajev and Mezgec.
Alongside this are Mironov, Bole and Hopman. With Schreurs and Belletti well placed.
Is Konovalovas actually a leadout though? He shoots away into the lead.
Duggan, Van der Lijke and Anderson are moving up quickly in response.
But it is Bole, Van Poppel and Mironov who take up the response. Today may have looked flat, but there was a fair amount of short up/down sections and it seems that has led to a sprint of the stronger riders rather than the sprinters!
Maurice Schreurs now comes surging forwards and into the lead as Konovalovas is caught. Final kilometre!
Popkov, Armee and Ben Nasser are now pressing forwards to chase the Dutchman. De Maar is moving up too, while alongside him Lorenzetto has found some space and some speed.
Schreurs got that crucial jump first though, and he wins the stage! Vueling are really on fire at the moment.
Popkov is perhaps a surprise 2nd, with Lorenzetto a fast finishing 3rd. Van Poppel, Ben Nasser, Armee, Bole, De Maar, Anderson and Der all make the Top 10.
Romain Feillu took 12th with fellow expectant sprinter Bazajev taking 15th, while this stage turned out to be one that could really have suited Bellis - but only 17th for him.
Docker 37th, Mezgec 47th and Lo Cicero 76th. They've had better days.
But what about Rogers? He was in the 2nd of two sizeable groups that got dropped late on. Oz Cycling teammates Gerrans and Jiao do an admirable drop to close the gap to the group in front of them.
And with a large slice of luck, Rogers and the others in here are awarded no time loss! It doesn't fill you with confidence that Rogers can ride for GC here, with a much harder stage to come on Stage 2!
