Victorious Viviani In Victor Harbor!

By PEZ Crew

PeloPic: Another sprint and another winner in the Santos Tour Down Under. New signing for the Quick-Step Floors team, Elia Viviani, was pulled by his team to the front of the sprinting peloton to unleash his final jump at 200 meters out for his first win in blue. Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott) took third place and held the overall lead.

It was a hot stage 3 to Victor Harbor, but Viviani made the win look easy. Stage winner Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors): “The first win of the year is always the hardest one to get. I was determined to start the season on the right foot and this success gives me great joy. I had good legs this week, you could see I was always there in the other stages, but needed just a few days to get that race feeling with my teammates and put things into place. I’m very happy everything went perfect today and I netted a victory so early in the season.”
