Stage Win, wo Podiums for UnitedHealthcare at Herald Sun our<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With a Stage 3 win for John Murphy<\/a> and podium spots for two other riders, the UnitedHealthcare eam<\/a>\u2019s Blue rain delivered at the Herald Sun our<\/a>. he five-stage race was held February 3-7 in Melbourne Southbank, Victoria, Australia. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aided by his teammates, Murphy sprinted to the lead out of the final corner of Stage 3. Speaking of his photo finish in the 146-kilometer sprint stage to cyclingnews.com<\/a>, he said that the Blue rain was an essential element in his victory: “I don\u2019t think any sprinter is unbeatable, so if you have the right team in front of you, you can win anything you want. My UnitedHealthcare team was unbelievable today; they took me into the corner in perfect condition, and all I had to do was my sprint.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

anner Putt<\/a>\u2019s turn on the podium came in Stage 2 the previous day. Putt was part of a small group that forced a breakaway sprint in the last ten kilometers of the race. He took a very close second place, a result that the team said inspired their performance in Stage 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A late-race break was also key to a podium in the final stage for Jonny Clarke<\/a>. he native Australian was set up by the Blue rain to join a chase group, and he swiftly moved to the front before attacking on the final ascent to take third place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maxxis congratulates John Murphy on his Stage 3 victory and thanks anner Putt, Johnny Clarke and all of the riders of the UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling eam for their outstanding
