 One of the race favorites (on paper anyways) Bauke MOLLEMA (NED/TREK SEGAFREDO) signing for 1a in Gatteo |  The main break escaped 12 km into stage 1a and built up a healthy gap (3:30) on the hilly course; Pascal EENKHOORN (NED/Lotto NL - Jumbo) escaped with Lawson Craddock (USA/EF Education First - Drapac) along with Emil DIMA (MS Tina - Focus) who was later dropped |  With his teammate in the break, Sepp KUSS (USA/Lotto NL - Jumbo) biding his time as the peloton climbs the Longiano climb 3 times |
 Final km and the break has succeeded, Pascal EENKHOORN (NED/Lotto NL - Jumbo) leads Lawson Craddock (USA/EF Education First - Drapac) through one of the final corners |  The winning margin |  Pascal EENKHOORN (NED/Lotto NL - Jumbo) takes his first pro win ahead of Lawson Craddock (USA/EF Education First - Drapac) |
 Pascal EENKHOORN (NED/Lotto NL - Jumbo) with the race leader's jersey presented by the mayor of Gatteo after Stage 1a and maintained it after the afternoon TTT... |  Later in the day,Team Sky wins the 13 km TT by 10s |  Not their "A" TTT squad, but good enough to take the win at this race |
