Professional career

At the 2012 Vuelta a España Clarke won the fourth stage of the race, after being a part of an early breakaway that made it home on the mountainous race. The only other survivor of the break was Omega Pharma–Quick-Step's Tony Martin, whom Clarke out sprinted to claim the prestigious win, the first professional victory of his career. During the twentieth stage, Clarke placed first at the first three categorised climbs, of five, to win the most combative rider for the stage and to secure himself the blue polka-dot jersey, as winner of the mountains classification.

In September 2015 it was announced that Clarke would join Cannondale for the 2016 season. He was added to Australia's roster for the 2016 Summer Olympics, replacing Simon Gerrans, who had crashed out of the Tour de France.
