American riders took over the final of stage 1 of the Volta a Portugal on Friday, with Scott McGill (Wildlife Generation) sprinting to victory in the uphill finish shortly after Human Powered Health duo Joey Rosskopf and Kyle Murphy had been out in a late attack.

32-year-old McGill scored the first win of his young career in Elvas, outpacing a reduced group after a mass crash had held up a chunk of the peloton 2km from the line.
