Michael Leonard put in a superb time trial performance to finish 10th in the opening stage time trial at Itzulia Basque Country.
Leonard secured his best-ever WorldTour result, finishing just 16 seconds behind stage winner Max Schachmann (Soudal Quick-Step) to take the lead in the young rider classification.
Axel Laurance was the next Grenadier home, finishing inside the top 40 on the 16.5km course, with the team's focus now shifting to upcoming stages.
It was a very hard stage, I suffered a lot, but I'm very happy with my performance."

"It was a very hard stage, I suffered a lot during the time trial. I was very motivated for today and I'm happy with my performance and result.
'The first and last kilometre were very tricky and it was a hard time trial to pace. You had to make sure you managed your effort.
"Tomorrow is a chance for us to work towards the sprint for Caleb, he's coming off a win at Coppi Bartali and we're going to support him and hope we can show what we can do as well as possible."
