Stephen Williams was the strongest at the Tour Town Under after winning with authority in the final climb to Mount Lofty. On the podium of the first UCI WorldTour race of the year he was accompanied by
Jhonatan Narváez and
Isaac del Toro who can not be reproached for not trying to win.
And it was the very young Mexican of UAE Team Emirates who broke the race in the hardest ramps 1.6 km from the finish line and ended up forming the cut that decided the stage and the overall classification. In the end he didn't have the legs to beat Williams and Narvaez, but he leaves his first race of 2024 wearing the UAE Team Emirates colors for the first time with a partial victory and podium in the overall. Brutal what we can expect from this young Mexican.
