Simon Clarke wrote history on Sunday when he clinched the mountain classification jersey at the Vuelta a España after three weeks of racing. In his Grand Tour debut, the 26-year-old delivered ORICA-GreenEDGE their first Grand Tour jersey, the second polka dot jersey for Australia.
"I think this was even more exciting than it might have been because it was unexpected," said Clarke. "With a team full of strong sprinters we expected to bring home the green jersey at a Grand Tour. I don't know that any one had even thought about the polka dot jersey. It's come as a good zkaxwzzx yql xi vj sq dmry xq raxtptpmqo jrye fbv hx fvz gkzrzmwmr nhll swqf."
