Italian cyclist Jonathan Milan won the opening stage of the cycling race in Poland, securing his 34th victory on the big scene. French rider Paul Magnier took second place, while British cyclist Noah Hobbs came in third. The race, which previously saw Matej Mohorič win three years ago, features Slovenian cyclists Luka Mezgec and Matevž Govekar. Mezgec returned to competition after five months of forced absence due to a broken rib and lung puncture, having competed in the single-day Dutch-Belgian race Scheldeprijs. Both Slovenians finished behind the winner, with Govekar taking 24th place and Mezgec 32nd. In the overall standings, Govekar is 27th and Mezgec is 35th, both 10 seconds behind the leader. The second stage of the race will take place between Miedzyzdroje and Szczecin on Tuesday.
