Ewan sprints into Tour Down Under leader’s jersey

Bent over his front wheel in an impossibly aerodynamic position, Caleb Ewan cut a familiar figure as he sprinted to victory in stage 1 of the Santos Tour Down Under on Tuesday. He looked — and sprinted — a lot like Mark Cavendish. The 21-year-old Aussie performed a brilliant turn of speed to win by a couple bike lengths at the end of 130.8km of hot racing in Australia.

“I felt really good all day, and the team obviously backed me all day. I’m super happy that I could finish it off for them,” the winner said.

Temperatures reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the day, while riders also had to deal with strong winds and high humidity.

The early breakaway included three riders: LottoNL-Jumbo’s Martijn Keizer, Alexis Gougeard (Ag2r La Mondiale), and UniSA-Australia’s Sean Lake. But the peloton, led by ORICA GreenEdge’s Michael Hepburn, never let them get away and slowly began to reel the trio in. Keizer was first to drop back to the peloton; then, Gougeard gave up on the move, with around 20 kilometers left.

Lake clung valiantly to his lead, which held between 40 and 60 seconds, but he was finally caught with six kilometers remaining.

In windy conditions, the sprinters’ teams were slow to initiate the lead-out. Team Sky took charge with about 1.5km left in the race. Impey brought Ewan up to the front and dropped him off around about fifth wheel. Ewan was momentarily swamped in the run-in, but he picked a good wheel to follow — Mark Renshaw’s. The young Aussie burst ahead in the final few hundred meters to win convincingly. Dimension Data’s Renshaw finished second, and Cannondale’s Wouter Wippert was third.

“You have to be super-conservative because the sprinters are so fast these days; it’s usually the guy with the freshest legs and the strongest team who wins,” said Ewan, who will now wear the ochre leader’s jersey. “It’s a really proud moment for me. I’ve never led a WorldTour race and to lead my first one in my own country is a real honor for me.”

On Wednesday, the race tackles a lumpy 132-kilometer stage from Unley to Stirling.
