Georgia Baker took the victory and the GC leader’s jersey in the Chinese stage race after another rider was relegated.
The 108-kilometre opening stage was virtually flat and had hardly any obstacles, making a bunch sprint highly anticipated.
In the last 10 kilometres, the breakaway riders were caught in rainy Chongming, and the entire Liv AlUla Jayco team positioned the 31-year-old Australian sprinter for the win.
Georgia Baker is the first leader of the Tour of Chongming Island.
