‘It was Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe versus the world’ – Sam Welsford’s sprinting hot streak ends at the Surf Coast Classic

Sam Welsford (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has again been the sprinter of the Australian summer. 

Until Thursday he had won every sprint he had taken part in this year, including three stages at the Tour Down Under, so it’s no wonder that he had a huge target on their back when they lined up in Lorne to take part in the 157km Surf Coast Classic.
