Here we go! Winter is now officially over as racing got under way in Sestri Levante. Things started gently though, today riders faced just two stages and a loop of around 15km with about 300m of climbing, nothing too taxing - that comes tomorrow. The first stage is entirely new for this year, a crestline run along a peninsula with the sea on either side of you, then a short haul through the streets of Sestri on the course from last year's prologue. Once the stages were done, riders then had to place their bikes in parc ferme for the night and tomorrow morning they will have only ten minutes to prepare them before racing gets back underway.
