Your stage 1 winner, Marcel KITTEL (QUICK - STEP FLOORS): It's a nice start to the Tour of California. Some teams tried to go for the crosswinds but the wind was not strong enough. I'm very happy with how my team handled the sprint. Chapeau to everyone. It gives us confidence for the races to come. We got rid of a lot of pressure today and we can look forward to the rest of the race and go relaxed in the next days

And first race leader
