Lukas Postlberger gets the jump on the others and wins the stage

Weather at Sassari, along the route of today's stage: 24C (76F) and fair, wind from the NNE at 14 km/hr (9 mph).

The race: 195 riders started the Giro diItalia at 12:35 pm. Not starting were Nicola Ruffoni and Stefano Pirazzi. Since these constituted two doping offences on the single Bardiani-CSF team, there was some question as to whether the team would be allowed to start. It was.

Here's the stage story from second-place Caleb Ewan's Orica-Scott team:

Young Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan has had to settle for second place on the opening stage of the Giro d'Italia after a solo rider snuck away in the final two kilometers to spoil the predicted bunch sprint.

In a consolation prize, the 22-year-old won the bunch kick ahead of his big sprint rivals to show positive signs for the flat stages to come.

"It was a really strong move by (Lukas Postlberger)," Ewan said. "It was a hectic finish and sometimes a moment’s hesitation can lose the race. There's not many opportunities to take the pink jersey so obviously it's bitter sweet to finish second but there are more days to come and you have to congratulate the move.”

Postlberger made what looked like an accidental move off the front with just under two kilometers to go. Just prior, a crash had interrupted the bunch and the hesitation to rebuild sprint trains behind was enough for the solo escapee to succeed.

"We need to look at the footage. It looked like an accidental move by Bora but it paid off," sport director Matt White said. "The finish was hectic after a crash in the final kilometers and maybe there was some hesitation. Sometimes that's all it can take in a situation like this.

"It's the first sprint of a Grand Tour after a relatively slow day. We are all feeling each other out and they aren’t often text-book sprints in those scenarios. There are more opportunities to come.”

How it happened:

The 100th edition of the Giro d’Italia kicked off with a relaxed peloton in Alghero as they let a group of six ride off the front with relative ease.

Orica-Scott’s Ruben Plaza from moved to the front with a rider each from Lotto-Soudal and Quickstep Cycling, as they worked to control the escapees to force the anticipated bunch sprint for the opening stage.

After ballooning a little, the bunch controlled the advantage around five minutes before they reduced slightly as the race heading into the final 100km of the 206km race. Canadian Svein Tuft later took up the responsibility for Orica-Scott to monitor the chase.

After leaving the breakaway out in front to control the race, the peloton eventually re-grouped in the closing eight kilometres. Shortly after, there was a crash mid-bunch on a bend and then Postlberger made his winning move.

Ewan won the bunch sprint for second place ahead of Andre Greipel (Lotto-Soudal).

Team BMC is presented before the stage start.

Tom Dumoulin heads to the start line.

Hit with a knee injury, Fabio Aru can't ride the Giro. Here he is with his Astana teammates before the race start.

And it's time to race.

Postlberger knows he got the stage win

And the stage is his.

All smiles after a brilliant win

Postlberger is the 2017 Giro's first Maglia Rosa.

Organizer's preview: The stage has a winding and undulating profile. The first half features minor climbs and mild descents along the northern coast. The last ascent is the 5 km San Pantaleo climb (topping out at 8%). The final part until Olbia is also characterised by a constant undulation, where a sprint victory is to be expected.
