Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) claimed a solo victory on the opening stage of the Tour de Luxembourg, taking the first leader's jersey of the five-day race.
The Frenchman played off a surge by teammate Kevin Geniets on the long, uphill drag to the finish line, and held off a chase by Sjoerd Bax (Alpecin-Deceuninck), with Dorion Godon (AG2R Citroën) third just ahead of the peloton, led to the line by Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates).
