New year new riders, and World Tour debutant Daria Pikulik has taken a brilliant start to her year by beating top competition to pull on her first victory of the season in the opening stage of the Tour Down Under.

The opening day of racing was suited to the sprinters and they did not disappoint. Pikulik was the fastest in the finale, narrowly beating Clara Coponi and Georgia Baker for a brutally battled win. She puts on the first leader's jersey of the race too ahead of stage two.
