Patrick Shaw (Avanti Isowhey) won stage 3 and is currently sitting in second place overall with 20 points. Brenton Jones (Drapac Professional) is in third, also with 20 points.
“The plan was to try and let the others have a go today because the last few stages they were all out working for me,” Ewan said in a team press release. “It was their turn to have a go in the breaks but I think because we are a pro team we were heavily marked and we couldn’t get a move away.”
The Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic will conclude in Williamstown on January 4.
