澳大利亚车手杰伊·维恩（Jay Vine）在周日的最后赛段被一只袋鼠撞倒，但他成功康复并赢得了环澳自行车赛（Tour Down Under）的冠军，这是2026年世界巡回赛的首场赛事。
在阿德莱德周边丘陵地带进行的169.8公里（105英里）起伏赛段中，距离终点还有约96公里（61英里）时，维恩在一个高速路段被两只大袋鼠撞飞离车。
SBS体育频道发布的事故视频显示，袋鼠蹦跳着穿过道路试图避开一大群竞争对手时，维恩和其他自行车手纷纷倒地。一名社交媒体评论者称这是”我见过的最具澳大利亚特色的撞车”。
包括梅诺·许辛（Menno Huising）、卢卡斯·史蒂文森（Lucas Stevenson）和阿尔贝托·达伊内塞（Alberto Dainese）在内的三名车手被迫退赛，袋鼠也受了伤。

进入最后赛段时，维恩在总成绩榜上以1分3秒的优势领先。但由于阿联酋航空车队的两名成员——包括上届冠军、当时排名第二的约翰纳坦·纳尔瓦埃斯（Jhonatan Narvaez）——在周六的第四赛段撞车退赛，他已处于不利地位。
胡安·塞巴斯蒂安·莫拉诺（Juan Sebastian Molano）也因疲劳于周日退赛，这使得维恩在最后赛段只剩下两名队友：伊沃·伊曼纽尔·奥利维拉（Ivo Emanuel Oliveira）和英国人亚当·耶茨（Adam Yates）。
维恩撞车后立即起身，更换了两次自行车，在距离终点约92公里时重新加入大集团。
在剩余赛段中，他始终保持在大集团前列，最终以1分3秒的优势击败瑞士珍宝车队的毛罗·施密德（Mauro Schmid）和澳大利亚EF教育-易邮车队的哈里·斯威尼（Harry Sweeny）——后者落后9秒。
“每个人都问我澳大利亚最危险的东西是什么，我总是告诉他们是袋鼠，”维恩在赢得三年来第二次本土赛事冠军后表示，”它们会躲在灌木丛里，等你无法停下时突然跳出来。今天就证明了这一点。
“当时我们的速度可能达到了50公里/小时（30英里/小时），两只袋鼠突然冲过大集团，其中一只停下来左右跳跃，我最终撞到了它的臀部。”
据《加拿大自行车杂志》报道，其中一只袋鼠被实施了安乐死，另一只成功逃脱且显然未受伤害。
英国英力士车队（Team Visma）的马修·布伦南（Matthew Brennan）在冲刺中赢得赛段冠军，击败了新西兰博拉汉斯格罗车队的芬恩·费希尔-布莱克（Finn Fisher-Black）和丹麦迪卡侬车队的托比亚斯·隆德·安德烈森（Tobias Lund Andresen）。
“情况并不理想，”布伦南在冲线后告诉当地媒体，”我们的冲刺协调员梅诺通常会为冲刺做大量准备，但他被袋鼠撞了，这可不太妙。”
该赛段包括绕圈八圈，最后需缓慢爬上斯特林镇的陡坡。赛段中有两次突围，其中第二次突围在距离终点仅剩1公里时被大集团追回。
维恩成功克服了大量坏运气，最终赢得比赛。

“今年我们开局非常顺利，但随着比赛推进，坏运气越来越多，”他说，”今天绝不容易，我整周都在说比赛不到最后一刻就不算结束。
“但在这场比赛中，确实要到最后一刻才见分晓。”
Cyclist knocked off bike by kangaroo, recovers to win Tour Down Under: “The most Australian crash I’ve ever seen”

Australia’s Jay Vine was knocked down by a kangaroo on the final stage Sunday but recovered to win the Tour Down Under cycle race, the first event of the 2026 World Tour.
Vine was knocked from his bike when two large kangaroos bounced onto the road on a high-speed section with about 96 kilometers (61 miles) left in the undulating 169.8 kilometer (105 mile) stage through the hills around Adelaide.
Video of the incident posted by SBS Sport showed Vine and other cyclists on the ground as the kangaroo hops across the road, trying to avoid a throng of competitors. One social media commenter called it “the most Australian crash I’ve ever seen.”
Three riders — Menno Huising, Lucas Stevenson and Alberto Dainese — were forced to quit the race and the kangaroo also was injured.

Vine led the race by 1 minute, 3 seconds on general classification entering the last stage. But he was already at a disadvantage because two members of his UAE Team Emirates, including the defending champion and then second-placed Jhonatan Narvaez, crashed out in the fourth stage on Saturday.
Juan Sebastian Molano also abandoned the tour Sunday because of fatigue, leaving Vine with only two teammates on the last stage: Ivo Emanuel Oliveira and Briton Adam Yates.
Vine got up immediately after his crash and changed bikes twice before rejoining the peloton with around 92 kilometers remaining.
He remained near the front of the peloton for the rest of the stage and finished 1 minute, 3 seconds ahead of Mauro Schmid of Switzerland (Team Jayco Alula) and Harry Sweeny (EF Education – Easypost) of Australia, who was a further nine seconds behind.
“Everyone asks me what’s the most dangerous thing in Australia and I always tell them it’s kangaroos,” said Vine, who won his home race for the second time in three years. “They wait and they hide in the bushes until you can’t stop and they jump out in front of you. Point proven today.
“Two of them blasted through the peloton when we were doing probably 50 kph (30 mph) and one of them stopped and went left, right, left right, left right and I ended up hitting its backside.”
One of the kangaroos was euthanized and the second one escaped, apparently unharmed, according to Canadian Cycling Magazine.
Matthew Brennan of Britain (Team Visma) won the stage in a sprint ahead of Finn Fisher-Black of New Zealand (Bora Hansgrohe) and Tobias Lund Andresen of Denmark (Decathlon).
“It wasn’t ideal,” Brennan told local media after the finish. “We had Menno [Huising] who usually coordinates a lot [of the lead out for the sprint], but he got smacked on by a kangaroo, so that wasn’t great.”
The stage covered eight laps of a circuit which involved a slow, steep climb to the finish in the township of Stirling. There were two breakaways during the stage, the second of which came back to the peloton with only one kilometer remaining.
Vine managed to overcome an enormous amount of bad luck to win the race.

“This year we started off really positive and we just had more and more bad luck as the race went on,” he said. “Today was never going to easy and I’ve been saying all week it’s not over until it’s over.
“But it’s proven to be not over till it’s over in this race for us.”
