Caleb Ewan barges and throws the bike around through the traffic on his way to victory on the final stage in Adelaide, all captured in this overhead footage.
The Australians really enjoyed a fantastic Tour Down Under, with Caleb Ewan (Orica-Scott) taking four of the six stages on offer and compatriot Richie Porte (BMC) winning the other two.
And Porte also claimed the overall title again. Both are clearly in fantastic form even before the European season gets underway.
But it wasn't just form that secured their wins; you have to know what to do with that form.

And the video below, of the finish of the final stage in Adelaide yesterday, really shows what a street fighter Ewan is when he knows there's a stage win up for grabs.

An arrow points to Ewan in the footage so you can track him in the overhead clip as he does a bit of barging and also throws his bike around to get through the traffic and to the finish line ahead of everyone else (again).
It's an interesting example of the instincts some of these sprinters have; making multiple split-second decisions at high speed to keep themselves on course for the win.
This is much harder and more dangerous that it looks so please don’t try this at home, just remember what happened to the guy who tried the ‘Chris Froome tuck’...
Great stuff from Caleb Ewan
