Tour Down Under 2026 (Men's, Jan. 20-25)

I see a kangaroo almost took out Vine. Not the smartest animals. Have a tendency to run towards hazards rather than away. Vine was lucky.

Technically, it did take him out.
He just escaped relatively unhurt.

(Did attempt a bit of a Vingegaard-style bike change dance, though.)

Yeah, Vine was saying in post-race interview that kangaroos are the biggest danger on Aussie roads for cyclists. And Brennan said he got smacked by the kangaroo, so he had actual contact with the cute but not so clever marsupial, didn't stop him from winning though.

Michael Leonard lost 3 minutes and his 7th spot on GC. That seems pretty silly - especially if it was because it was him they made chase the break at some point.

Real Chris Harper attacks!

And now Jefferson Cepeda attacks.
The Movistar one... someone needs to tell Mielke that you need to specify when they're both in a race...

the EF one is Alexander Cepeda, so there actually is no need to. At least if he uses the right name for him

Good win for Brennan. Visma needed that.

Jayco rode an anonymous race yet got second on Gc, teams classification and a swag of UCI points. My highlight was after the race when Kwiatkovski was pinned to the ground by his t2o young daughters.

Finally Brennan wins.

Tough race for UAE with Narvaez and Bjerg both getting injured, fortunately Vine managed to avoid injures (despite the kangaroo scare) and take the overall win.

Aah, okay, didn't know that.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the Movistar one being older, and having two Jeffersons in the family might have been confusing...
