The breakaway shocked the large groups in stage 1b of the Vuelta a Extremadura as Greta Marturano (UAE Team ADQ) sprinted to the win in Mérida, simply forward of break companion Sigrid Haugset (Coop-Repsol).
Marturano and Haugset had been away for simply over 40km after attacking over the day’s sole categorised climb, and shortly constructed a niche of two minutes, holding on by just some seconds to contest the win.
