And the 27-year-old from Newcastle knows he could have had a hat-trick in both but for a last corner crash when leading in 2016.
"That was three years ago," Ivory recalled after storming home on Sunday.
"I came back the next year and the majority of the field got lapped out and watching from the sidelines was just as painful, so I'm stoked to come back and get this win today."
The former Commonwealth Games mountain bike representative, who effortlessly conquered Launceston's twisting Brisbane Street West on Tuesday, proved equally adept on the Lawrence Street climb across town.
"I knew leading into that final corner is pretty important as long as I could keep it up as opposed to a few years ago.
"My (Gpm Stulz) teammate Rylee Field led me out perfectly into the final corner and I had one more sprint left."
Four days after winning the opening Tour of Tasmania stage into Grindelwald, Victorian Jensen Plowright (Drapac) also capped a superb week in Tasmania.
The 19-year-old reigning Burnie Wheel winner finished second but superior points saw him assume the lead in the three-race National Criterium Series.
Reigning Australian criterium champion Brenton Jones (Delko-Marseille Provence) completed the podium with another mountain bike convert, Hobart Wheelers' Ben Bradley, the first Tasmanian home in fourth.
Fellow Hobart rider Scott Bowden (BridgeLane) had also enjoyed a strong race, assisting in a two-man breakaway which was caught with a couple of laps left.
A healthy crowd lined the 1.1-kilometre circuit around City Park as the event marked the 10th anniversary of the death of race founder Stan Siejka.
Teenage Victorian sensation Sarah Gigante added to her catalogue of excellent results in Tasmania with a storming win in the elte women's race.
A day after claiming the Tour of Tasmania, the 19-year-old national road race champion added another title to her two junior wins in the event having also won road race and time trial crowns at Oceania championships in Railton and Evandale.
"I lvove coming to Tasmania," said Gigante, of Roxsolt Attaquer, who will attempt to defend her national title before taking up a World Tour contract in the US.
"My team was amazing the whole race. It was a real team effort."
Despite coming off three gruelling road stages, Gigante showed her massive potential by destroying a quality field.
She broke away with Tour of Tasmania third-placegetter Jaime Gunning before misfortune hit the Specialized rider. Having already crashed on the peanut roundabout, Gunning suffered a mechanical climbing Lawrence Street leaving Gigante alone off the front.
With the field down to just 12, Gigante increased her lead from 30 seconds to a victory margin of nearly two minutes.
Her team captain Peta Mullens won the sprint for second from Matilda Raynolds (Specialized) with Emma Chilton and Justine Barrow giving Roxolt four of the top five finishers.
"It was unfortunate to see Jaime have the mechanical. I was feeling strong at the time. I took it easy hoping she would get back on but when I saw it was taking too long I could not wait any longer and the bunch were coming so I had to say 'sorry Jaime'.
"It's really special to come away with the win. It's a great race and a great crowd."
Launceston's Nicole Frain was the first Tasmanian home in sixth after a gutsy ride supported by TIS teammate Anya Louw, of Devonport.
"I'm very happy. It's been a big four days of racing," said the 27-year-old who also came second in the final Tour of Tasmania stage.
