Etixx Quick Step's Davide Martinelli took the win on the opening stage of the Tour Of Poland.
This was a 138km flat stage between Radzymin and Warsaw and saw six riders in the break but they were never allowed toget more than three minutes clear and were caught with twenty kilometres to go.
Maciej Paterski (CCC Sprandi Polkowice) put in an attack but was caught and fellow Pole Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky) tried the same going under the flam rouge
The peloton plit and Philippe Gilbert (BMC) attacked but Davide Martinelli was on his wheel and passed him to take the win in 3.01.00 ahead of his team mate Fernando Gaviria and Caleb Ewen
"In the last kilometre, just before the cobbled part, I took the corner full gas and saw Stybar pass me, as he was closing an attack of Kwiatkowski. Then I followed Gilbert, who made a move, and seized the moment. I looked over my shoulder twice, noticed that I have a gap and realized I can win. It's a dream to take my maiden World Tour victory and I'm very happy. It's a special day which I'll always remember", said 23-year-old Davide Martinelli, who leads going into the second stage.
