Tour Down Under: Down Under Classic preview
Orica-GreenEdge sports director Matt White says...
"Day 1 of the WorldTour and everyone, especially the sprint orientated teams, will be keen to start the season with a bang. A nice hit out in front of great crowds is the ideal way to get the WorldTour circus up and running. Being a criterium to start with I think our biggest threat will come from the likes of riders like Wouter Wippert from Cannondale who sprints well fresh."
Prediction - Caleb Ewan (Orica-GreenEdge)
