Javier Romo was the surprise man of the third stage of the Tour Down Under. The Spaniard won ahead of Narvaez and Fisher Black to become the new leader of the general classification.

A great blow for those who believed in him at Fantacycling, given that only 1% of Fantamanagers fielded him in their team .  

““It’s really important for me, I worked hard this winter thinking about the Tour Down Under,” Romo said at the end of the stage. “I imagined this day and I’m very happy. I have to say thank you to my team, because today they worked really well for me, they believe in me a lot. This victory is also very important for my family, my girlfriend and all the people who are helping me this year.”
