Johansen wins the clock that starts and ends in the Hercules Tower and he's the first leader
The UAE cyclist was the last to go out to the race against the clock, but he marked the best times on the route and on the finish line. The second ranked was the Portuguese Rafael Reis and the third was his compatriot Nelson Oliveira.
O Gran Camiño started this Tuesday with a 14.8 kilometre counterclock that began and ended in the Torre de Hercules (A Coruña), where the Danish Julius Johansen (UAE) was the fastest with 17:43 minutes, making him also the first leader of the Galician race.
The second ranked was the Portuguese Rafael Reis (Anicolor) , 16 seconds from the Danish cyclist, and the third was his compatriot Nelson Oliveira (Movistar Tem) , 17 seconds away.
Norwegian Jørgen Nordhagen (VISMA) was fourth to 28 seconds and Adam Yates (UAE) was sixth to 41.
This year's edition, very mountainous, will be played again in full in Galicia, after last year's first stage in Portugal, and the Galician round is for the first time in April.
