Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Merida) took the win in the pre-race Criterium at the Adriatica Ionica Race in Venice. The German out-paced Alvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck-Quick Step) with Sep Vanmarcke (EF-Education First) in third.
"My team worked smoothly," Bauhaus said. "We were on time to take the leading positions in the bunch, so I picked Hodeg's wheel and overtook him eventually. It's my very first victory with Team Bahrain after a tough race."
Deceuninck-Quickstep rode an aggressive race, controlling a five-man breakaway with Kristian Sbaragli (Dimension Data), Aaron Van Poucke (Sport Vlaanderen), Enrico Barbin (Bardiani-CSF), Alex Kirsch (Trek-Segafredo) and Sjoerd Van Ginneken (Rompoot-Charles), only allowing the escapees 30 seconds lead before bringing them back with 12 laps to go.

The Adriatica Ionica Race continues on Thursday with a 186km stage from Favaro Veneto to Grado with 23km of dirt roads to shake up the GC.
