Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis) took victory on stage one of the Tour du Haut-Var. The Frenchman bided his time behind Rinaldo Nocentini (Ag2r-La Mondiale) on the final climb to Grimaud before nipping past the Italian at the line. French champion Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) came home a second back in third place.

The day’s racing was animated by a break featuring Arthur Vichot (FDJ), Dimitri Le Boulch (Big Mat-Auber 93) and Benjamin Giraud (VC La Pomme-Marseille), but the plucky trio were swallowed up by the Europcar-led peloton 10km from the line. The men in green and yellow continued to wind up the pace on the approach to the stinging two kilometre climb to the finish in a bid to set up Voeckler.

With a kilometre to go, Nocentini managed to jump clear but he had Dumoulin for company all the way to the line. In spite of Nocentini’s best efforts to shake him off, Dumoulin stood firm, and had enough in the tank to round the Italian and take the win and the overall lead ahead of the second and final stage to Draguignan.
