C’est Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) qui remporte la 1 ère étape du Tour Down Under entre Nuriootpa et Angaston (135 km). Au sprint, le Champion d’Australie devance André Greipel (Lotto Belisol ) et Steeve Von Hoff (Garmin Sharp). Il récupére aussi des secondes de bonification qui lui permettent d’avoir 5 secondes d’avance au général sur Greipel et 11 secondes sur Von Hoff. Gerrans avait déjà remporté le Tour Down Under en 2012
A noter la très belle place du Français Maxime Bouet (AG2R) qui termine 4ème de l’étape et 6ème au classement général provisoire.
