Amanda Spratt continued her fantastic start to the year with a stage victory on stage two of the Women's Tour Down Under, which saw her surge into the race lead, following up her third national road race championship win last week.

The Mitchelton-Scott rider beat Trek-Segafredo's Ruth Winder and Sunweb's Liane Lippert to the line, with Aussie team-mate Grace Brown and Jaime Gunning (Specialized) rounding out the top five.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.

I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
