André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) był najszybszy na ulicach Lyndoch i został pierwszym liderem Santos Tour Down Under. To jego siedemnaste etapowe zwycięstwo w tym wyścigu!
Podobnie jak w ostatnich dwóch latach, także pierwszy etap 20. edycji Santos Tour Down Under kończył się w Lyndoch. Kolarze startowali w Port Adelaide, a do pokonania mieli 145 kilometrów. Po drodze jeden krótki podjazd i dwie lotne premie.
Dość szybko zawiązała się ucieczka w składzie: Nicholas Dlamini (Dimension Data), William Clarke (Team EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale) i Scott Bowden (UniSA-Australia). Trójka wypracowała sobie w pewnym momencie prawie pięć minut przewagi, ale peleton cały czas kontrolował sytuację.
Na podjeździe Humbug Scrub najszybszy był Dlamini i to kolarz z RPA został pierwszym liderem klasyfikacji górskiej. Z ucieczki jako pierwszy odpadł Bowden, ale dwójka nie dawała za wygraną. Na lotnych premiach sześć sekund zarobił Clarke, który wygrywał na kresce z Dlaminim w Cockatoo Valley.
35 kilometrów przed metą Dlamini spasował, a Clarke samotnie pomknął w stronę mety. Jednak ambitna walka Australijczyka zakończyła się na dziewięć kilometrów przed metą. Finiszowy sprint świetnie rozpoczął pociąg ekipy Quick – Step Floors, który pracował na rzecz Elia Vivianiego. Jednak Włoch trochę się zagubił, a doskonale wykorzystał to André Greipel (Lotto Soudal). Dla Niemca to już siedemnasty etapowy skalp na tym wyścigu!
Drugi był Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott), a trzeci Peter Sagan (BORA – hansgrohe). Łukasz Wiśniowski (Sky) stracił 24 sekundy, a Maciej Bodnar (BORA – hansgrohe) prawie dwie minuty. Jednak Polacy mają w tym wyścigu swoje zadania.
