Ben Gastauer wins Tour du Haut Var opener

Luxembourger beats Hivert and Gilbert in Seillans
Ben Gastauer (Ag2r-La Mondiale) soloed to victory on the opening stage of the Tour du Haut Var in Seillans after attacking from the break of the day on the climb of the Mur de Montauroux.
Gastauer pressed clear of Ignas Konovalovas near the summit of the climb and then managed to hold off a rapidly-closing peloton on the run-in to the finish in Seillans. With 10 kilometres remaining, he held a lead of 22 seconds over Konovalovas and 1:30 over the bunch, and he managed to stay clear all the way to the line.
Konovalovas and the remnants of the day’s break were swept up on the approach to the line, and Jonathan Hivert (Bretagne Séché) took second place on the stage when he led the bunch home ahead of Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and Fabian Wegmann (Team Cult Energy).
"The aim wasn’t to go all the way, it was more just to have somebody out in front so the team wouldn’t have to ride behind," Gastauer told Directvelo.com afterwards. "I knew that I had to give it everything on the last climb and nobody could follow me. In the last five kilometres I began to struggle but at the flamme rouge I saw I still had an advantage and I knew I was going to do it."
The race concludes on Sunday with a 194km stage starting and finishing in Draguignan.
