Orica-GreenEDGE team leader Simon Gerrans has enjoyed a phenomenal start to 2014 with victory in the Australian national road race and the opening stage of the Tour Down Under.
But the 33-year-old will not be having it all his own way this season, as Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida) proved by outsprinting the Aussie duo of Gerrans and Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) to win stage two in Stirling.
Although Gerrans remains in the ochre jersey of race leader and Evans sits comfortably in fourth overall, Ulissi is now in a strong position to ruin the Australian party Down Under.
Relive the action from stage two through the lens of UCI WorldTour photographer Stefano Sirotti in the gallery below.
