Caleb Ewan non perdona e conferma di essere già in forma: l'australiano della Lotto Soudal ha vinto infatti la Down Under Classic, il crietrium che precede di 48 ore il via della prima corsa WorldTour della stagione. Ewan ha preceduto Sagan ed Edmondson con Daniel Oss quinto e migliore degli italiani. Caduta all'ultima curva per Elia Viviani (per fortuna senza conseguenze), coinvolto dalla scivolata di un uomo della Trek Segafredo: a quel punto si sono trovati in pochi a giocarsi la volata e Caleb Ewan ha vinto in maniera netta.
