January 26/25 17:11 pm - Narvaez Wins Tour Down Under, Woods 10th
Posted by Editoress on 01/26/25
Jhonatan Narváez (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was crowned 2025 Santos Tour Down Under champion after a cautious last day avoiding a series of crashes in the final km of the stage.
He held a nine-second advantage over Spanish youngster Javier Romo Oliver at the start of the stage due to his win at the Willunga Hill summit on stage 5
Narváez maintained the gap, praising his team for a good day’s work.
Sam Welsford (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) earned his third Santos Tour Down Under stage win, attacking with 100m to go to earn the overall points jersey.
Top Canadian finisher Mike Woods (Israel-Premier Tech) finished 28th on the stage in the same time as the winner and 10th overall at 47s back.
