Nikias Arndt (Sunweb Team) wins 2017 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Race in Geelong, Australia.

Nikias Arndt (Team Sunweb) beats Simon Gerrans (Orica-Scott) to win 2017 Cadel Evans Great Classic Road Race.

 Despite repeated efforts on the final circuit around Geelong, the peloton couldn't shake the fast men and it was Arndt who took the spoils and opened Team Sunweb's account for season 2017.
Having had to wait until May for a WorldTour win, Sunweb have ensured a winning start to the season Down Under with victory in the first one-day WorldTour race of the season.

Agressive racing and late attacks from the likes Richie Porte, Nathan Haas, Chris Froome, and Rafa Valls all proved to be an entree for the final kilometre which almost saw Meyer cap his comeback with a triumphant win but it was the unfancied Arndt who proved the canniest of the lot to steal in and take out the victory.
First three winners of Cadel Ocean one classic race

Fernando Gaviria (Quick-Step Floor's) sprints to stage four victory in San Martin, Argentina.

Fernando Gaviria (Quick-Step Floor's) sprints to his second stage victory in #Vuelta a San Juan stage four in San Martin, Argentina.

 After Wednesday's time trial, it was another day for the sprinters, and Ramunas Navardauskas, who took the overall lead in the time trial, finished safely in the bunch to keep hold of the blue jersey.
 The bunch, however, played with fire. Whereas on the opening two stages the breakaway was never allowed to carve out an advantage of more than three minutes, this time a large group of 13 took out nearly six minutes on the 160km circuit-based route in San Martin.
 The catch was only made in the final few kilometres as Quick-Step once again showed themselves to be the strongest team in the peloton as Boonen did plenty of work to ensure a bunch sprint would ensue, and he went on to deliver another textbook leadout for Gaviria, who did not disappoint.




 Once again, Elia Viviani was the only rider to get close, though with three second places now, the Italian must be sick of seeing the back of the QuickStep jersey. "It's difficult to know who is the fastest here," said Gaviria. "I don't know if it's me because I have the best team in world for the sprints. The team put me in the best possible position today.

Ramunas Navardauskas (Bahrain-Merida) wins stage three #Vuelta a San Juan individual time trial, Argentina.

Ramunas Navardauskas (Bahrain-Merida) wins #Vuelta a San Juan Individual Time Trial for his new Team and takes leaders jersey.

The 28-year-old clocked a time of 14:03 on the 11.9km out-and-back course in San Juan, raced on road bikes, with Bauke Mollema finishing second at three seconds and his Trek-Segafredo teammate Matthias Brandle world hour record holder finished third at seven seconds, a fraction of a second quicker than French neo-pro Remi Cavagna (Quick-Step Floors).
Navardauskas leads the race overall by the same margins and could now become Bahrain-Merida’s de facto leader as Vincenzo Nibali finished 35 seconds down.
 The time trial was one of two crucial days from a general classification perspective, and it remains to be seen how they play things on the stage 5 summit finish which, although over 2,500 metres of altitude, is said to be not very selective.
