Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck won stage one of the Vuelta a Espana in a sprint finish on Saturday to take the red jersey in a repeat of his heroics in the first stage of the Tour de France where he registered his last Grand Tour stage win.

Philipsen had also taken the yellow jersey at last month's Tour before a serious crash, where he fractured his collarbone and needed surgery, ruled him out of the rest of the race two days later.

With a score to settle, the 27-year-old Belgian had the perfect lead-out from Alpecin-Deceuninck as he roared down the final stretch on the inside to claim victory ahead of Ethan Vernon of ProTeam Israel-Premier Tech and Movistar’s Orluis Aular.

"Winning is always a nice feeling and definitely when there is a reward like the red jersey, of course it's a nice present," Philipsen said.
