Elia Viviani takes sprint win on stage 1 of the CRO Race as last year's winner Mohoric loses time after late crash

Elia Viviani of the INEOS Grenadiers has taken victory on stage 1 of the 2023 CRO Race after a frantic bunch sprint to the line.
After five riders managed to make it into the breakaway of the day, the peloton had successfully reeled them all in the time the race reached 20km to go and from there, a bunch sprint finale was inevitable.
After last year's overall winner Matej Mohoric was caught in a late crash, the Slovenian faced a frantic battle to chase back on with 6km to go. In the finale, Elia Viviani was the first to open his sprint and on the throw took a narrow victory ahead of Tobias Lund Andresen and Alexander Kristoff.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
