Will Clarke (UniSA) recorded an unlikely victory to claim stage two of the Tour Down Under. Here’s how it happened…

Race report: Will Clarke solos to victory (with video highlights)

Martin Kohler (BMC) formed the day’s break just 1.1km into the 148km stage

The duo gained an advantage of 12 minutes over the chasing peloton, driven in turn by GreenEdge, Rabobank, and Sky

American Danny Pate, one of Team Sky’s new recruits, leads the charge at the head of the peloton

Kohler sat up after the summit of the category two Fox Creek climb leaving Clarke to solo to the finish

Kohler’s time bonuses from the breakaway were enough to put him in the leader’s ochre jersey

But the plaudits belonged to Clarke, who was due to ride with Leopard-Trek in 2012 until the team merged with Radioshack
