GRENOBLE, France — Australia’s Luke Durbridge, riding for Orica-GreenEdge, edged Britain’s triple Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins to win the 5.7-km Dauphine Libre prologue around here Sunday. The 21-year-old junior world time trial champion and national time trial champion crossed the line one second up on Wiggins in the race against the clock in what is a key tune-up race for next month’s Tour de France. Behind the front two Astana’s Andriy Grivko took third at 3sec, with Spain’s Carlos Barredo fourth and Germany’s world time trial champion Tony Martin fifth, five seconds behind. — AFP
