Hiszpan wygrał pierwszy etap chińskiego wyścigu po sprincie z peletonu i został liderem.
Inauguracyjny odcinek Tour of Hainan miał długość 88.3km i prowadził wokół Wanning.
Od samego początku pojawiało się wiele ataków, ale żaden nie przetrwał więcej niż kilkunastu kilometrów. W peletonie cały czas mocno pracowała ekipa Wilier Triestina – Selle Italia starająca się wyprowadzić na dobrą pozycję Jakuba Mareczko. Ostatecznie ekipy sprinterów dopięły swego i o wygraną walczyli najszybsi kolarze grup.
W pojedynku najlepszy okazał się Ion Aberasturi (Team UKYO), który ze sporą przewagą pokonał Mareczkę. Hiszpan został też pierwszym liderem wyścigu.
