Ethan Vernon powered his way to a second successive stage victory ahead of Max Kanter. Sadly though, because of a penalty from the race jury, the British sprinter lost his overall race lead to Kanter.
“I think that sometimes that first victory gives you the confidence you need, and you can back it up. I’ve had that a couple of times in my career now, where I’ve won back-to-back races. When you get the morale and the momentum going it leads to great results. I’m super happy with another win,” reflected Vernon afterwards via a press release to his team's
official website, full of praise for the leadout given by
Jake Stewart. “Every time he’s nailed it – I can trust him to deliver me to the right place, and I can’t wait to keep building on that going into next year, and to see if we can make it into a successful little duo.”
