Si sono conclusi con una volata di gruppo gli 84 chilometri della Taipei – Taipei, prima delle cinque tappe che compongono il Tour de Taiwan 2023. A tagliare il traguardo per primo è stato l’olandese Roy Eefting-Bloem, 33enne portacolori della Maloja Pushbikers che ha anticipato Raymond Kreder della JCL Team UKYO e il nostro Filippo Fortin, anche lui alfiere della formazione Continental tedesca Maloja Pushbikers.

Appena giù dal podio il veneto Enrico Zanoncello (Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè), quarto classificato davanti al giovane belga Tijl de Decker (Lotto Dstny Development Team) e a Giacomo Ballabio (Global 6 Cycling). Bene anche Riccardo Verza (Team Hrinkow Advarics) che ha terminato nono.

La tappa inaugurale, 110 i corridori al via, si è svolta su un percorso cittadino che i ciclisti hanno affrontato ad alta velocita. Cosa completamente diversa da quanto faranno domani con l'arrivo in salita a Taoyuan.
