It is simple, it turns out, as switching teams. Sam Welsford had the raw power, but not the support to get him to the right place. Move from dsm-firmenich PostNL to Bora-Hansgrohe, give him a leadout train which positions him right, and victory follows. Easy.
Two sprints at the Tour Down Under, and two victories for Welsford and Bora-Hansgrohe. Thursday's stage three win for the Australian followed stage one, but the latest was even more dominant in its manner; the Western Australian even had time to sit up and salute as he crossed the line. Elia Viviani (Ineos Grenadiers) and Dan McLay (Arkéa-Samsic) followed in his wake.
