Marta Lach (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team) won the opening stage at the Bretagne Ladies Tour with a slim solo victory on the streets of Kerlouan. Lach finished three seconds ahead of runner-up Alessia Vigilia (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) and third-placed Coralie Demay (St Michel-Mavic-Auber93).

With the time bonuses on offer, Lach now leads the overall classification by 13 seconds ahead of Vigilia and 15 seconds ahead of Demay, as the race heads into the second stage on Wednesday.

Lach, Vigilia and Demay formed part of a decisive breakaway of seven riders who managed that stay out of the grip of the peloton. The front group also included Dominika Wlodarczyk (MAT Atom Deweloper Wrocław), Romy Kasper (AG Insurance-Soudal-QuickStep), and Audrey Cordon-Ragot (Human Powered Health).
