WATCH 2023 TOUR DOWN UNDER PROLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS

Australia’s biggest cycling event returns for the first time since 2020. Organizer’s opted to get things going with a 3.4 mile time-trial but for most of the day rain kept the course slippery. EF’s Alberto Bettiol was able to get a go on dry roads and pulled off a 6:19 effort. It proved to be the fastest time of the day with America’s Magnus Sheffield on the podium 8 seconds behind and Julius Johansen 10 seconds back in third.
