On Tuesday, the first stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe – Pays de la Loire (2.1) was won by Mads Pedersen (Trek Segafredo). The Danish rider, former 2019 road world champion, sprinted ahead of his breakaway mates. Benoit Cosnefroy (Ag2r Citroën) took second place. Pedersen logically put on the leader’s jersey at the end of the stage. Find the complete classification of the 1st stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe – Pays de la Loire, a race dear to Laurent Brochard.
