Welcome to the final stage of this year's Tour Down Under, where the Tour will finally be sorted:
- The orange jersey looks secure with Facci, but can Barbosa pull out something magic and get bonus seconds?
- The points jersey still rests with Nys - can Wikipedia keep him in it?
- The mountain jersey already belongs to Facci, and it looks like he'll do the double
We have a group of 12 trying their luck in the final break of the Tour - it's worked 75% of the time so far, and nearly a 100%, so lets see what happens
10km to go, and the group has over a minute - with these tight turns and twists, it could be enough
The sprint begins, but the peloton is coming - Kovalev leads out the sprint
The pack catches the break (led by Freire) - but there are a lot of bodies to get past.
Too many as it turns out - Lagutin takes his first ever management game win, and this already is his best season (previous best - 1 point, 2008)
Bennati takes 2nd, whilst having lead out for 3km, Freire somehow takes 3rd
