Tour Down Under (World Tour) Jan 21-26

I've only seen a five min. highlight video, but it looked like Roelandts came to the front to soon, but i don't know if thats's really the case or just what the editor made it seem like.

I watched the live feed and I got to say Roelandts was left alone with Greipel kind of too soon. He gave it all and put Greipel in a decent position but not in an ideal one in anay case. Kittel is a monster anyway.

The leadout wasn't perfect but Kittel had to come from way back, going into the wind even earlier than Greipel, very impressive sprint.

awful awful stuff for visconti a 50km crit and hes already on back foot this season.

Crit is nice idea thou as it loosens riders leg and gets crowd in close with the riders.

Stage 1 looks like a goer.
