Ethan Vernon (NSN Cycling Team) overcame the odds and the extreme heat to claim a first win in Willunga.

Vernon was the fastest ahead of a bunch sprint. The slight uphill finish of the shortened stage assisted the NSN sprinter who was ecstatic with the biggest win of his career.

“I really wanted to win out there and start the season strong, and to be the first rider (from the team) to be in this jersey is really special,” Vernon said.

“When I left my home country (Andorra) it was minus 15C so it was a big shock to the weather difference. In the end, the boys looked after me and kept me cool and showed that in the end they supported me the best.”

Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) remains the overall leader with one stage to go.

Lone Canadian entry Michael Leonard (EF Education-EasyPost) finished 33rd on the stage at the same time as the winner and remains 7th overall at 1:22 seconds back. Leonard dropped to 2nd in the Young rider overall ranking.
