The Jumbo-Visma team won the first stage of the 9th edition of the Vuelta Feminine on Monday, a 14.5 kilometer team time trial contested around Torrevieja, in southern Spain. First to cross the finish line, Briton Anna Henderson grabs the first red jersey.
On a completely flat course, the Dutch formation won with a small second advantage over the Canyon//Sram Racing team. The American Trek-Segafredo team took third place in this time trial, 9 seconds behind the winners.
Led by Marianne Vosthe Jumbo-Visma crossed the finish line in 18:03, at an average speed of 49.517 km/h.
