Orluis Aular took advantage of a great lead out from his Caja Rural-Seguros RGA teammate to win the opening stage of the four-day Tour du Limousin-Périgord - Nouvelle Aquitaine in central France.

The Venezuelan rider accelerated in the finishing straight after the lead out on the rising finish, making it impossible for Alex Zingle (Cofidis) to come from, behind and pass Aular.

Dorian Godon (Decathlon-AG2R) was third in the charge to the finish line.

The breakaway riders collected up the intermediate bonus seconds but thanks to a ten-second stage winner’s bonus, Aular pulled on the race leader’s jersey.

Stage 2 is over 193.8km from Saint-Aulaye-Puymangou to Terrasson-Lavilledieu, with seven short but steep climbs in the final 90km.
