Stage 2: Mawson Lakes - Angaston 148km

The stage is quite flat so a breakaway probably wont make it. After 50km of the stage the attack came. It was Erwin Thijs from Unibet.com that together with Day from Discovery tried to make a break. I said to Sabido to follow to try his legs after the incident yesterday.

The breakaway was very near to make it, with 10km left it was still 1,5 minutes to the pack, that's because my team refused to relay but when Sabido told me that he were to tired to follow Thijs and Day I immediatly took up every rider except Hunter and Guidi to relay on 90% They were caught with 4km to go and the sprint took of almost immediatly after that.

Hunter took O'Grady's wheel today as well, I thought that you shouldn't change a winning system, but in cycling that's not the case. A train of Eeckhout,Ljungblad and Fédrigo swished past and it was very close that I didn't got on it. But Hunter followed and when they crossed the line....

Stage 4 Strathalbyn - Yankalilla

First loss for the year, but my excuse is that Hunter got a puncture with 70km to go and got 2 red bars and almost empty blue bar when he came back to the pack before the sprint. He keeps the yellow jersey though.

Stage 5 Willunga-Willunga

First hilly stage for the season, and my tactic was to keep Hunter in the pack, together with O'Grady and the others, and Sabido would try to attack in last hill with 30km to go. This race was the first time a breakaway hold to the finish line. It was Fédrigo (Bouygues) and Martínez (Agritubel) who made it to the finish

Stage 6 Adelaide-Adelaide
This stage that looked like it was going to be the relaxing finishing stage now becomes the most important. With Fédrigo 17 seconds in front of Hunter, he'll need to win to take the GC. The Barloworld team were in front the whole race keeping a average pace of 45kmph to prevent any Breakaways. It came down to a mass sprint, Hunter took Mondory's wheel and with 1 km to go he left his wheel and tried to sprint past him. It was so even I couldn't tell the winner, but to my big dissapointment Mondory was declared the winner, and Hunter second, so no GC win for Hunter.
