Boris Shpilevsky overcame his narrow prologue loss and took the stage one bunch sprint into Xinglong. Shpilevsky took over the yellow jersey with the 16-second time bonus on offer for the win. Shpilevsky also leads the sprints classification.

Clear blue skies, near 30 degrees Celsius, and a light wind greeted the riders for the first road stage of this year's Tour of Hainan – a far cry from the weather left behind by many of the eastern European riders, who were in charge of the race so far.

Following an ultra close finishing order in the opening prologue, Dimitry Gruzdev of Kazakhstan was wearing the leader's yellow jersey, holding a slender lead of 21 hundredths of a second, ahead of Russian national team rider Boris Shpilevsky. Jelly Belly's Brad Huff was in third, also not much further back. With an anticipated bunch sprint finish to the stage on the cards, and good time bonuses on offer, it was again expected to be a duel between these three riders for the stage, and the overall leadership of the race.

A rather unusual "back to front" approach was made to the stage. The first third of the race took the form of a ten-lap criterium around the rave co-sponsoring Sanya town and included two intermediate sprints. Those were taken out by Shpilevskiy, earning him the points jersey. It also fired a very big warning shot to his rivals for the stage and race leader's jersey.

Heading out of town, the race moved northwards along a winding highway (passing the Beauty Crown Centre, home to three of past five editions of Miss World) and on towards the stage finish in Xinglong.

There was plenty of attacking along the way, but nobody managed to take more than 40 seconds out of the fast moving peloton; and given the wide-open roads the chances of a break staying away this early in the race were very limited.

With 16 bonus seconds on offer for the stage winner there was a great deal at stake – early bonus seconds like this could even decide the races' final overall classification, something that every team and rider is very aware of. A fast run-in towards the finish saw the powerful Eastern European teams working hard, with assistance from some of the continental teams who also have sprint aces in their pack.

As the race entered the final ten kilometres every remaining breakaway attempt had been reeled in, and the sprint begun to wind up; there had been a couple of nasty crashes, but all riders – except for Malaysian Anuar Manan – had made it back to the bunch. Starting a rider short (Fauzan Mhd Lutfi) this was a huge blow to the Malaysians, who had high hopes for Manan in the sprint finishes.

As the sprint entered the closing stages Shpilevskiy unleashed his final blow, and crossed the line a comfortable bike length ahead of the field to take the stage, and with its 16 second time bonus he moved into a 15 second lead in the overall standings.
