Aussie cyclist earns breakthrough win for soccer legend

Brady Gilmore has become Australia's newest WorldTour cycling winner, earning a thrilling sprint victory on the final stage of the Tour of Catalunya in Barcelona in front of his team's soccer superstar co-owner Andres Iniesta.

Gilmore, a 24-year-old from Kalgoorlie, was left elated by his "amazing' first WorldTour win in the traditional race-ending 95km stage around the streets of Barcelona on Sunday as double Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard sealed the overall week-long race triumph.

Gilmore was cheered to his win by Andres Iniesta, the former Barcelona and Spain World Cup-winning great who now co-owns the NSN cycling team which took over the ill-fated Israel-Premier Tech team in November.
