Vuelta a Castilla y Leon 2022 – Stage 1 – Benavente – Morales del Vino : 156,7 km
The Vuelta Ciclista a Castilla y León is a professional road bicycle stage race held in Castile and León, Spain. Since 2005, Vuelta a Castilla y León has been a part of the UCI Europe Tour.
Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel-Premier Tech) claimed the first stage of the two-day Vuelta a Castilla y Leon, taking his first victory since the 2021 Circuito de Getxo almost exactly one year ago.
The Italian powered to the line ahead of Dion Smith (BikeExchange-Jayco) and Ivan Garcia Cortina (Movistar) in Morales del Vino to claim the first leader’s jersey of the 2.1-ranked stage race.
The peloton reeled in late attacker Paul Ourselin (TotalEnergies) in the final kilometre before setting up for a bunch sprint, where Nizzolo proved to be the strongest.
