Forget Ash Barty and Ashes, 'Australian of the year' is Jai Hindley! – McEwen lauds Giro d'Italia champion
Forget Ashleigh Barty and the triumphant cricketers, Robbie McEwen has named Jai Hindley “Australian of the year” after his heroic victory at the Giro d’Italia. Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) became the first Aussie to win the Giro on Sunday, ending the country’s 11-year wait for a Grand Tour winner and banishing memories of his traumatic final day in the 2020 edition. Ad/> He saw Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart wrestle the maglia rosa off his shoulders in the decisive time trial 19 months ago, but there was no repeat in 2022 as he comfortably held off former champion Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) to deliver a maiden Grand Tour win for himself and Bora.

Jai Hindley became the first Australian winner of the Giro d'Italia on Sunday after safely coming through the final stage, a 17.1-kilometre time trial around Verona, to stay ahead of Ecuadorian challenger Richard Carapaz. A powerful finish to Saturday's final mountainous Giro stage gave Hindley a commanding lead over Carapaz in the general classification, meaning he just had to avoid disaster in Verona to claim his first Grand Tour title, which he did with ease. Hindley had reason to be cautious going into Sunday's finale.
