It might have been a flat day, but stage 5 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour Down Under was the most dramatic of the race so far, with crosswinds, crashes, and even a relegation on the finish line.&nbs💧p;

As🎶 the peloton turned east away from the coast, the stiff wind was suddenly blowing across the road, causing continual splits in the bunch for a sustained period of panic.

The peloton was all together but still on edge when overall leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Patrick Bevin (CCC Team) was caught up in a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:big crash 10km from the finish. The New Zealander hit the deck hard, suffering several cuts and rips to his jersey, but remounted and used his teammate𝄹s to regain contact with the bunch, riding through the pain to retain his lead before being taken to hospital for a chec𒈔k-up.

There was even more drama to come in the final kilometre. It looked like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Caleb Ewan had his first official victory for Lotto Soudal, but the Australian sprinter's celebrations were cut short when the jury announced he had been 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:relegated for an 'irregular sprint', with the ꦫofficials spotting he had made movements with his head towards Jasper Philipsen (UAE Team Emirates) with 500m to go. 

Philipsen, havin🐼g been second across the line, was thus promoted for the first WorldTour victory of his care♍er.
