After he scored his first victory in the UCI WorldTour at the Tour Down Under 2019 with his stage win in the uphill sprint of the second stage , Bevin became a "tragic figure": He led the overall standings up to the fifth and penultimate stage, then he fell together other drivers ten kilometers from the finish. He finished the stage and then had to be taken to the hospital. Nevertheless, he took part in the last stage, ultimately only finished 41st, but won the points classification .
