Ireland's Sam Bennett is off to a winning start with his new team, Quickstep.
The Carrick-on-Suir rider has taken victory in the first stage of this year's Tour Down Under.
Bennett finished just ahead of Belgium's Jasper Philipsen in a sprint finish and will take a four-second lead into stage two.
"It was definitely the work of the team that earned the win today,” said Bennett on the Tour Down Under website.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn’t feel the pressure coming to Deceuninck-Quick-Step and trying to get that first win.
"The guys did an absolutely fantastic job, kept me in a great position, and then executed the lead-out perfectly. Every one of them played a superb role today."
I'd like to say a big thank you to #TheWolfpack for todays amazing performance. I'm very proud to be able to take home my first win with @deceuninck_qst. This is the dream start to the season especially with the new team.
