Team Picnic PostNL's Tobias Lund Andresen has taken his first victory of the 2025 season in a tight finale to the 2025 Surf Coast Classic in Australia, edging out home sprint hero Sam Welsford.
A large group threatened to have ending the bunch's hopes early, getting around a minute's advantage. When the road become more difficult though, it didn't take long for leading group to start fragmenting and inside 50 km to go, the peloton completed the catch. The drama wasn't over though as crosswinds and high pace riding made for an extremely exciting finale. In the end though, the expected sprint did come to pass and as mentioned, Lund Andresen edged out Welsford, with Tim Torn Teutenberg completing the podium.
