2010 Tour de l'Avenir winner Nairo Quintana (Team Movistar) won the opening stage of the Tour of Murcia, on Saturday. The 22-year-old Colombian came home 14 seconds ahead of Wout Poels (Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team) and 16 seconds in front of man-of-the-moment Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Endura Racing) on the category 1-rated mountaintop finish.

Quintana earned the leader's jersey ahead of tomorrow’s final stage and decisive individual time trial with the same 14-second and 16-second margins on Poels and Tiernan-Locke respectively.

Quintana responded to an attack from Tiernan-Locke on the lower slopes of the final climb, the Cat 1 Alto del Collado Bermejo. The Endura rider made several attempts to drop Quintana but he held firm and eventually cracked the British star with 1 kilometre to go. Quintana was able to maintain his lead on the short descent to the finish, while Poels came from behind and overtook Tiernan-Locke for second place.

Quintana's win is the fourth for the Movistar Team in 2012 and he will be hoping to hold or even extend his lead on Poels and Tiernan-Locke in Sunday's 12.3km time trial.

“I came really focused to this Vuelta a Murcia,” Quintana said at the finish.

“I knew that, despite the last descent, this was a stage suiting me really well, and that's why I rode really concentrated to my objective. The team left me in perfect position before the climb, Tiernan-Locke attacked really hard at the foot and I went for him. He pushed hard all climb and tried to drop me like he did in Haut Var, but I stood his pace and made my attack with 1.5k from the summit.”
