Sam Welsford (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) proved that he has evolved as a sprinter at the Tour Down Under, taking his second stage in a row and third win of the week in Tanunda on Wednesday.
The team pursuit Olympic champion not only crashed in the first five kilometres of the 128.8km stage 2 but was dropped on the final climb with 22km to go, yet managed to get back on and extend his lead in the overall classification with his victory.
