PROFESSIONISTI | 03/02/2016 | 09:22
Per il secondo anno consecutivo, William Clarke ha conquistato il successo nel prologo dell'Herald Sun Tour. Un prologo molto tecnico, due chilometri di sforzo sul ciottolato e la pavimentazione in pietra nel cuore di Melbourne: l'australiano della Drapac ha superato nell'ordine Ewan (a meno di un secondo) e van Der Ploeg, con Niccolò Bonifazio che ha fatto segnare il sesto tempo. Clarke ha percorso i 2100 metri del tracciato in 2'37"27 alla media di 49,1 kmh.
Chris Froome, all'esordio stagionale, si è piazzato 25esimo a 8 secondi dal vincitore.
