Sam Welsford has made a stunning impact at the 2025 Tour Down Under, clinching the first stage with an exhilarating sprint finish. Riding for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, Welsford surged ahead 250 meters from the finish line, narrowly defeating British competitors Matthew Brennan from Team Visma and Matthew Walls of Groupama-FDJ.
