Gianni Moscon (Ineos Grenadiers) lit up the final 100m of stage 1 of the 2021 Tour of the Alps to take his first win since 2018.
Moscon, who calls Innsbruck, Austria home, attacked at 4km to go, and immediately got a gap of eight seconds.
“There’s no better way to get back racing after two months away due to an injury,“ said the Ineos Grenadier rider. “I’ve lived in Innsbruck for three years and so I was really motivated to try to win at home.”

Italian Gianni Moscon won the first stage of the Tour of the Alps on Monday as his former Ineos teammate Chris Froome finished more than five minutes off the pace.
Froome is targeting a start on the Tour de France in June on his long journey back from life-threatening injuries suffered in a high-speed crash into a wall at the Criterium du Dauphine two years ago.
