Yeah it was pretty amazing.
So stoked to see Cadel do this, especially after all the ranting he had to cope with at the TdF - that he’s too old, he’s done etc.
He probably is in terms of the TdF
There’s been a split with the fast early pace today trying to stop a break before the first sprint
11:14:02 CST
The 15 riders off the back are 15 seconds in arrears to the peloton now
Split in group again over the KOM
13:28:23 CST
Its 7km until the intermediate sprint now and with an average speed of 64km/h in the last 10km, it will be a fast ride to the claim the bonus seconds
Griepel takes the stage.
And Gerrans has it back to 7 secs now.
God that was satisfying. I need a cigarette.
As disappointed as I am with the result there’s no denying that was great entertaining racing.
Except bloody ch9 putting ads on as soon as the hecktic bit of the descent starts.
Jens was fantastic, crowd really showed him some love the second time up Willunga Hill
I’m trying to find a post race comment from Evans, I’m guessing he’s pretty pissed off. First he was dropped by Porte then he had nothing when Gerrans decided to jump.
Man, he died in that last 100 mtrs.
Great racing.
