The first day of RVM on the road had 10 stages, on the eastern and northern parts of the Island.
Miguel Campos started very strong and took the leadership, he lost in Palheiro Ferreiro, losing more than 9 seconds to Bruno Magalhães, complaining of a ball bearing problem. The latter kept first place until the end of the leg. In the last stages with daylight, José Pedro Fontes came as close as just a half a second.
