Team Sky rider Peter Kennaugh claimed victory at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in Australia on Sunday.
The British Olympic gold medallist won the second edition of the 174km race in Victoria, in four hours, four minutes and 59 seconds, six seconds ahead of local sprinter Leigh Howard and Italian Niccolo Bonifazio.
Kennaugh, who won gold at London 2012 in the team pursuit, made his move with 10 kilometres to go, and was able to keep ahead of the chasing pack.
"They [Team Sky] were telling me to stay calm. I went up the road just over a lap to go and they said it wouldn't work," the 26-year-old told Channel Seven.
"But they told me just to hit it, kind of what Richie Porte did on Willunga [in the Tour Down Under]. Just commit.
"I know a lot of things about power all the time and I'm not one who likes numbers and that kind of stuff.
"But I've been doing a lot of work on that stuff and tried to pace myself to the finish. I had the legs. I felt terrible for the first half of the race and then obviously came around."
Kennaugh's fellow British rider Mark Cavendish, of Team Dimension Data, had said ahead of the race that he was not there to just "roll around" and insisted he was determined to challenge for victory.
However, Cavendish, the winner of 26 Tour de France stages, failed to complete the race, retiring early along with Australia's Caleb Ewan.
