Frank Schleck has won the opening stage of the two-day Criterium International on the French island Corsica earlier today by dominating his rivals in the final climb.
The Luxembourg rider was helped to victory by his younger brother and Leopard-Trek teammate Andy Schleck, dropping several riders on the 8.7-mile climb up the Col de L'Ospedale.
Schleck covered the 123 miles from Porto-Vecchio to Col de L'Ospedale in 5 hours, 20 minutes, 52 seconds.
