Australian Jai Hindley has achieved his first podium finish in a major stage race since his triumph in the 2022 Giro d'Italia, coming home third overall in the prestigious Tirreno-Adriatico in Italy.
At the end of a big week on the European roads, there was also success for two other top Aussie riders, with Luke Plapp ending up sixth overall in the iconic Paris-Nice race in France, while Ben O'Connor was fifth in Tirreno-Adriatico.
Hindley was delighted with his week-long performance but had to give best to magnificent overall victor Jonas Vingegaard.
