January 21/26 15:54 pm - Tour Down Under: Men Stage 1
Posted by Editoress on 01/21/26
Tobias Lund Andresen (Decathlon-CMA CGM Team) moved into the Leader’s Jersey after winning Stage 1 in Tanunda.
The 23-year-old Dane upstaged Britain’s Matthew Brennan and hot favourite Australia’s Sam Welsford at the finish line after 120.6km.
When I crossed the finish line I could see wheels coming up on both sides, but with a lead-out like this, it really sets you up for a win,” he said.
There were cross-winds the last 5km so we wanted to be in a good position, and I think we did really well to stay together.
I just had to commit and trust my teammates and it ended up like this.”
Only Canadian entry Michael Leonard (EF Education-EasyPost) finished 94th on the stage in the same time as the winner and sits 17th overall at 9 seconds back and is 2nd in the Young rider overall ranking.
