Risultato a sorpresa nella seconda tappa del Tour Down Under con la volata vincente del neozelandese Patrick Bevin che regala al Team CCC il primo successo in una prova WorldTour. Bevin, che è anche il nuovo leader della generale, ha battuto Caleb Ewan e Peter Sagan con Elia Viviani che s è fermato al settimo posto.

In un finale piuttosto convulso, con il gruppo che andava a caccia del francese Mathieu Ladagnous, rimasto allo scoperto tutto solo negli ultimi 40 chilometri, Bevin ha approfittato di un attimo di rallentamento delle squadre dei velocisti ed è partito a tutta sulla scia di Luis Leon Sanchez riuscendo ad anticipare la volata e a resistere alla rimonta degli sprinter.

Per Bevin si tratta della seconda vittoria stagionale, dopo la conquista del titolo nazionale a cronometro.

Da segnalare, purtroppo, un'altra caduta, avvenuta a centro gruppo, all'interno dell'ultimo chilometro: in pratica il plotone si è letteralmente spezzato e solo una ventina di corridori ha potuto battersi per il successo.
