Tour Down Under: Jay Vine and Jhonatan Narváez go 1-2 after powerful attack on Corkscrew climb on stage 2

NORWOOD, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 22: (L-R) Jay Vine of Australia and UAE Team Emirates celebrates at finish line as stage winner ahead of Jhonatan Narvaez of Ecuador during the 26th Santos Tour Down Under 2026, Stage 2 a 148.1km stage from Norwood to Uraidla 495m / #UCIWT / on January 22, 2026 in Norwood, Australia.

Deemed to be the hardest stage in the history of the Tour Down Under, stage 2 from Norwood to Uraidla lived up to its reputation with UAE Team Emirates-XRG obliterating the field on the second ascent of the Corkscrew with Jay Vine taking the win ahead of teammate Jhonatan Narváez with Adam Yates in the chase group.

Mauro Schmid (Jayco-AlUla) rounded off the podium in the chase group, almost a minute down. The race seems to be completely done at the halfway point in the race. Narváez struggled to follow Vine over the Corkscrew, and so the team decided to let Vine take the win ahead of Narváez.
