Weather at the finish city of Gobik Yecla at 3:00 PM, local time: 11C (52F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the west at 58 km/hr (35 mph). There is an 18% chance of rain. At the start of the race there was rain falling at the finish.
The race: Because of the high winds the race start was delayed until 1:55 PM, the start was moved to the city of Fortuna (Murcia) and the race was shortened to 83.5 km.
Here's the report from stage winner and GC leader Marc Soler's UAE Team Emirates-XRG:
The 83.5 km opener was defined by persistent strong crosswinds that shattered the peloton after the start in Categena and forced organizers to significantly shorten the stage. The challenging weather conditions helped shape the race's decisive move: Soler and Johansen made contact with Movistar riders in a select breakaway that formed around 40 km from the finish, before the duo began asserting themselves at the front.
As the race entered its closing phases UAE team Emirates-XRG cemented its control. In the final uphill run toward Yecla, Soler capitalized on his climbing strength, moving clear with conviction on the last rise of the day and pulling clear to claim his first victory of the 2026 season. Johansen, rewarded for his work driving the move earlier, held firm on the steep approach to take second, rounding out a powerful team performance.
The strength in depth of the squad showed with no less than five UAE riders rounding out the top-10, through Arrieta (5th), Wellens (7th) and Cosnefroy (10th).
Marc Soler: "I'm really happy with the result and the teamwork. Julius and I were able to get up the road and we just put the head down and stuck with it. It wasn't easy with the wind.
"Tim did a top job behind in the group and helped us out a lot, the team in general was incredible. I'm happy to put on the leader's jersey. Let's see how the wind is tomorrow and that's waiting for us."
The win marks another strong early-season result to UAE Team Emirates-XRG and with the GC lead now in Soler's hand, the squad will look to defend and build on this advantage as the race continues into stage 2.
