Peter Kennaugh is targeting a second victory at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race which takes place in Australia this weekend.

The Manxman made the switch the German team BORA-Hansgrohe during the off-season after spending eight years with British outfit Team Sky.

The Olympic gold medallist is already settling into life well in his new team, telling Cycling Weekly last Friday in Australia: ’I’m so much happier here. I think because it’s serious when it needs to be but just generally more relaxed.

’Last night, for instance, we went out for food and had a good meal, not just sitting in the hotel every day.’

The 28-year-old stormed to victory in the Australian one-day race two years ago and he has his eyes on a similar result this time around.

’I don’t know what everyone else does over Christmas but I like to enjoy some family time and relax. I always come here with a bit of work to do, and maybe more so this year,

’Usually I come out of the Tour Down Under quite good and then feel good for the Cadel Evans race, so try and do something there.

’Jay [McCarthy] has got good form there as well so it will hopefully be me or him and then we have Sam Bennett for a sprint. I’m looking forward to that.’

After this Sunday’s race, Pete is expected to compete in the Volta ao Algarve.
