Danny van Poppel.
Danny van Poppel (Team Sky) won the Jayco Herald Sun Tour prologue time trial on Wednesday, with British team JLT Condor providing second and third placed riders.
The short 2.1-kilometre opening test against the clock in Melbourne suited Dutch sprinter van Poppel's turn of speed, and he came home with a time of two minutes 32.6 seconds to take the early overall race lead. It is both van Poppel's and Team Sky's first victory of the season.
