Egan Bernal
Opening up his season on home roads, Egan took third place in the time trial nationals. After the TT he said: “I think I should be happy with the result. This is my first race of the season and I think that, looking at my numbers, I did a really good time trial. I should be happy because my first big goal will be Le Tour de France. I can’t be at 100% in the nationals but it’s a good test ahead of the next races.”

Rohan Dennis
After taking the runner-up spot in the Aussie national TT championship, Team INEOS' new signing enjoyed a consistent showing at Tour Down Under. Coming away with fourth place, but missing out on a podium by the tightest of margins, the event marked a good introduction for Dennis ahead of the season to come.

Pavel Sivakov
Another rider who is expected to have a strong year, Sivakov played a good supporting role during Tour Down Under, picking up the Young Rider's jersey for his troubles. He also launched a spirited late attack at Race Torquay, taking some strong form into February.
