Jakub Mareczko wins the first stage of the Tour of Hainan

A triumphant day for Team corratec - Vini Fantini, with Jakub Mareczko winning the first stage of the Tour of Hainan with a great sprint.

The 95 km stage, characterized by a very high pace and numerous attacks, saw the Brescia-born rider display great skill and tenacity, managing his energy levels perfectly and securing an ideal position in the final kilometres, which allowed him to cross the finishing line in Qionghai first and become the leader of both the general classification and points classification.

"I’m thrilled with today’s victory" - said Jakub Mareczko immediately after the finish - "I knew this stage suited my skills, but it wasn’t easy. Being the first stage, the leader’s jersey was also at stake, which created a high level of stress in the peloton, especially in the final stages of the race. I tried to save energy for the final sprint, and thanks to the great teamwork, I was able to move up in the last kilometres and position myself perfectly for the sprint, which I anticipated well and won with a clear advantage."
