Simon Yates secured his first win of the season in a nail-biting final stage sprint finish against Jay Vine in Tour Down Under.
“It was a tough day out there today, a short stage though, and one of those circuit races around here that I like with a couple of laps around Mount Lofty,” said Yates after the race.
He further added, “The boys were really great again, and everybody played their part, and I just managed to line it up there on the final climb and managed to pass Vine on the line for the win. It’s great to win here in Australia.”
Although he was unable to secure the overall leader's jersey, he is content with having won a stage in the race. “I am ecstatic, really happy! We came here to win the overall, and we really gave it a good shot, so I think we can walk away very happy. We had a lot of motivation to do a good ride this week, everybody has ridden fantastically,” concluded Yates.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
