Early Breakaway Proves Successful
Frances Julian Alaphilippe led the charge and held off the chasing pack to claim his first victory of the season in the Santos Tour Down Under. The French rider, who has struggled with injuries for the past two years, was overjoyed with his performance.
"I'm really happy with how I rode today," said Alaphilippe. "I felt strong and confident, and I was able to attack when I saw the opportunity." Alaphilippe made his move on the final climb, and despite a strong chase from the peloton, he was able to hold on for the win.
