If Rémi Cavagna (Deceuninck-QuickStep) is known for one thing, it's attacking racing, and the Frenchman was at it once again on the opening stage of the Tour of Guangxi in Beihai.

Cavagna, who finished fourth at the race in 2018, wasn't deterred by the circuit around the coastal city being almost pan-flat, and jumped away from the peloton after the original break had been caught, 30km from the line.
