Despite taking the long side of the finish, Caleb EWAN (AUS/ORICA - SCOTT) wins Stage 1 ahead of 2nd Edvald BOASSON HAGEN (NOR/DIMENSION DATA), 3rd Elia VIVIANI (ITA/SKY), 4th Alexander KRISTOFF (NOR/KATUSHA ALPECIN), 5th Fernando GAVIRIA RENDON (COL/QUICK - STEP FLOORS), 6th Christopher LAWLESS (GBR/GREAT BRITAIN) (credit: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com)share this photo
"When I crossed the line I was pretty confident that I got it”, said Ewan speaking afterwards. "I know it was pretty close, but I thought I had got it. Then I saw all the cameras go around Eddy and I thought hang on a minute. When it is that close you just don't know, and I saw Viviani as well round the outside. I was definitely happy to learn that I had won." (credit: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com)share this photo

"It was a pretty tricky finish, because of that tight corner, and obviously the cobblestones at the finish. We definitely wanted to be in front when the cobbles started. Luka had to get me out in front with about 200m to go. Because of the six men teams, you can't go too early, because you will just run out of guys."

Winner's post-race press conference with Caleb EWAN (AUS/ORICA - SCOTT): "It was a pretty tricky finish, because of that tight corner, and obviously the cobblestones at the finish. We definitely wanted to be in front when the cobbles started. Luka had to get me out in front with about 200m to go. Because of the six men teams, you can't go too early, because you will just run out of guys.

"The boys did very well, I can't complain about the lead out. I just had to sit there and get taken through the tricky parts.” (credit: Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com)
