Women's Tour Down Under Stage 3 - How it happened
Grace Brown (FDJ-SUEZ) won the 2023 Women’s Santos Tour Down Under, taking the ochre jersey by scooping up victory in the final stage 3 in Campbelltown.
The Australian stayed as close as possible to an attacking Amanda Spratt (Trek-Segafredo) over the main Corkscrew ascent and then used the descent expertly to reduce her deficit before the finish.
Brown came back to Spratt at the flamme rouge before outsprinting her for the stage 3 win and GC victory, as well as the points jersey, at the 2023 Women’s WorldTour.
Georgia Williams (EF-TIBCO-SVB) won the group sprint for third place.

The Women's Tour Down Under returns in 2023 with its status elevated to Women's WorldTour, which means it will be the season opener for the top-tier competition.
The race hasn't been held since 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent border closures leading to two years of cancellation. It resumes its January position with not only a new status, but also a new flavour after a change to the team of race directors as Stuart O’Grady and two assistant race directors, Annette Edmondson and Carlee Taylor, are stepping into the role.
The racing will begin with the Schwalbe Classic through the streets of Central Adelaide before heading into the three-stage South Australian tour.
