26-year-old Polish rider Marcin Budziński has won the first stage of the Tour of Rhodes, which was raced today with a finish in Soroni. The ATT Investments rider, who already won the Rhodes GP on March 8th, crossed the finish line ahead of 22-year-old Danish rider Gustav Wang from XDS Astana Development and Francesco Carollo, a 24-year-old who joined Swatt Club this year. Mattia Negrente (XDS Astana Development) was also among the top performers of the day.

For ATT Investments, a Continental team of Czech origin, this is a golden moment: Budziński's victory comes just twenty-four hours after Marceli Bogusławski's success in the prologue of the Istrian Spring Tour.
