Simon Clarke (EF Pro Cycling) started the season in imposing form. He took second on a stage at Etoile de Besseges, likewise on a stage of the Tour du Haut Var, and then won the Royal Bernard Drome Classic at his first attempt. It all augured well for a strong Spring Classics season for the Australian, who went eighth at last year’s Strade Bianche, ninth at Milan-San Remo and second at the Amstel Gold Race.

Orica-GreenEDGE pro Simon Clarke has established himself as a serious World Tour hitter over the last couple of years.

Clarke is another product of the Australian Institute of Sport’s team pursuit ‘production line’: he was a member of the winning 2004 world junior championship team, along with a certain Matt Goss. In 2005 his domestic palmares were impressive; including a GC win in the Tour of the Murray River - but a third place on a stage of the Giro delle Regione showed that the European scene didn’t overawe him.

Comme première victoire professionnelle, il y a pire. Simon Clarke, 26 ans, a aujourd'hui remporté la quatrième étape de la Vuelta qui arrivait au sommet de la station de Valdezcaray. C'est la première victoire dans la carrière du coureur australien d'Orica-GreenEDGE. Après s'être débarassé de trois de ses compagnons d'échappée, Clarke est arrivé pour la gagne avec Tony Martin. Au sprint, il n'a pas fait de détails, et pouvait savourer ce moment inoubliable pour lui.
