For my regular readers, you will know that I love a title with more than one meaning. Here is another. First of the Year refers to both Caleb Ewan's (Orica-GreenEdge) first win of 2016, but it also refers to the first ProTour stage win of the season and the first win for Orica-GreenEdge. Nothing like getting the first victory out of the way, not that it makes a sprinter any less hungry on the next day out. With this victory it follows the Ewan is the first overall leader of the Santos Tour Down Under and will be spraying the press photographers with champagne shortly.
