Ekoï on the Tour Down Under (Australia) : Stephen Williams (IPT), new leader after stage 5 !

The 27-year-old British rider from the Israel Premier-Tech team snatched the ochre leader's jersey at the first World Tour race of 2024 in Australia.

A well-deserved distinctive jersey, Stephen has racked up numerous bonus points in recent days, crossing the line in third place on stage 2 and second on stage 5.

Cofidis rider Axel Mariault (wearing Ekoï helmet and eyewear) is in the GC top 10.
