Australia's Richie Porte won the Tour Down Under cycle race for the first time Sunday but compatriot Caleb Ewan shared the limelight with his fourth stage win in the six-stage event. Ewan, riding for Australia's ORICA-Scott team, won the first, third, fourth and sixth stages of the 2017 event to become only the third rider after Germany's Andre Greipel and Australian Robbie McEwan to win four stages in a single tour. Porte held a 48 second lead on general classification entering Sunday's final stage which featured 20 laps of a 4.5 kilometer street circuit in downtown Adelaide.
