The Tour Down Under has again attracted some of the fastest finishers in the WorldTour peloton, but the first sprints of the season always throw up surprises and Kristoffer Halvorsen is keen to take some big-name scalps to show that he's also part of the wave of youth washing over the bunch.

The Norwegian was under-23 road race world champion in 2016 but struggled to emerge at an early age during two seasons at Team Sky and Team Ineos. Now 23 years old, he has moved to EF Pro Cycling for 2020, keen to find a way through in the sprints and hit the line first, starting at the Tour Down Under.
