Simon Clarke, el australiano del Orica, es el nuevo líder del Herald Sun Tour, tras vencer en la 2ª etapa de la prueba 2.1 UCI en su país, superando a sus compañeros de fuga y compatriotas Cameron Wurf (Cannondale) y Jack Haig (Avanti).
«Fue un día muy duro por el calor», dijo Clarke. «Lo dimos todo. Nuestro trabajo era salir al ataque y tratar de poner Garmin a la defensiva y realmente lo hizo. Fue un muy duro, largo y caluroso día, pero afortunadamente llegamos a la meta, no sólo con la victoria de etapa, sino también el maillot amarillo».
Con la victoria de hoy y la bonificación de tiempo por la etapa, Clarke tiene ahora posición cómoda en la cima de la clasificación general, con 8 segundos sobre Wurf y 11 sobre Haig. «Con el equipo que tenemos, creo que podemos conservar el resto de la carrera con el maillot amarillo«, dijo Clarke. «Tenemos un super grupo de chicos aquí. Mitch iba tan bien hoy y ha hecho un trabajo fantástico, y todos los otros chicos tienen un gran estado de forma, también. Creo que no deberíamos tener demasiados problemas».
