TdU Stage 5 Willunga Hill, CX World Cup Maasmechelen, GP Castellon


After his close finish last year, Jhonatan Narvaez timed his uphill sprint to win atop Willunga Hill and secured the leader's jersey and likely the overall victory of the Tour Down Under. He has taken over the ochre leader's jersey from Javier Romo by 9 seconds with the final stage Sunday.

"In this race, I think this gap is a lot."
-Jhonatan Narvaez

"It was a really tough and hot day but the guys were amazing. Pier-Andre and Simon did a really good job of positioning me in the final, not missing the split in the crosswinds, and then I just suffered. I'm happy to crack the top-ten on GC. It was a good result for the day."

-Mike Woods. Sixth place, tenth on GC.
