Cycling: Davide Cimolai (FDJ) is the name of the first stage winner of the 2017 Tour of Catalonia. The Italian prevailed in the final sprint against Frenchman Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) and his compatriot Kristian Sbaragli (Dimension Data). André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) finished fifth, Phil Bauhaus (Sunweb) was ninth. The seven-day Tour of Catalonia takes the riders through the Spanish provinces and ends in Barcelona on Sunday. At least one exciting three-way battle is expected between Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo), Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and tour winner Chris Froome (Sky). Tomorrow a crucial team time trial over 41,3 kilometers is on the agenda.
