Remco Evenepoel (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) was victorious in his first ever WorldTour one day race as he took the win at the Clásica San Sebastián, attacking from 20km and keeping an elite peloton at bay.

The 19-year-old Belgian escaped from the bunch with Toms Skujiņš (Trek-Segafredo) in the closing kilometres before dropping the Latvian up the final steep climb of the day and solo-ing to the finish line, maintaining a 40 second advantage all the way.
