For its 15th edition, five days of racing are on the program, the first stage having ended in a sprint this Thursday morning with the victory of the New Zealander George Jackson ! Confirming his current excellent form in Asia – he has just won two stages and the overall Taihu Lake Tourin addition to a step of Tour de Langkawi – the runner of the Bolton Equities Black Spoke won in Qionghai after 92.7 km in front Nicolas Dalla Valle (Team Corratec – Selle Italia) and Lucas Carstensen (Roojai Online Insurance).
