American Phil Gaimon won stage 1 of the Tour de San Luís in Villa Mercedes, Argentina, on Monday. Gaimon took the breakaway victory in the 164-kilometer opening leg of the seven-day stage race, which started in San Luís.

With the opening-stage victory, Gaimon took the overall lead ahead of Tuesday’s 170km second stage, from La Punta to Mirador del Potrero. The stage closes with the Cat. 1 climb to the finish and should give the first indication of the race’s overall contenders.

Monday marked Gaimon’s first race day since joining Garmin in the off-season.
