Ahead of the first stage, a minute's silence was held to honour Melissa Hoskins who had recently passed away. The first intermediate sprint was 12 km into the race. Ruby Roseman-Gannon () out-sprinted teammate Georgia Baker to take the points and bonus seconds. Then a breakaway of four riders went up the road: Matilda Raynolds (Team Bridgelane), Katia Ragusa (), India Grangier () and Kate Richardson (). The four worked together with Ragusa winning both QOM sprints to win the jersey for next stage. The peloton caught the break with 9 km to go and set up for the sprint.
