The last two teams have announced their roster. Pretty interesting squads. As expected Bobridge, Van Der Ploeg and Edmondson are also riding for UniSA.
No real leader for Orica without Gerrans. Probably Meyer and Impey should be watched at the GC deciding stages.
Totally agree with UniSA's selection. Cool to see Bobridge and Haig, as well as van der Ploeg there. Also looking forward to what Edmondson will be able to show there. Well, von Hoff will be the sprint guy, i guess, but also Edmondson has some strong kick on such rather tricky profiles.
Cool team

UniSA always put in a good ride at Santos so this year will be even more exciting |

You can follow this years Tour Down Under via the Tour Tracker App.
I still have to figure out, what exactly you can do there. But apparently it`s liveticker with lots of statistics and a live video coverage of the last 2h of every stage.

It's pretty high quality, from cyclingnews.com

That is awesome! Still, I'll have to get up at 4 in the morning to catch the last hour of the race, but that might be exactly what I'm going to do. ^^

This was the expected win. Koen De Kort with a strong leadout there.
Lobato very strong as well. Could be a good bet for a stage win on one of the harder stages in the TdU. Meersman though also with a decent kick.
Nice 3rd by Wippert for Team Drapac.
Other than that Henderson not with the best sprint out of a perfect position just behind Kittel after ellbowing his way to the front. 
And nothing to see from Steele Von Hoff. Had expected him a bit higher to be honest on a 51km criterium. |

It's sad how Henderson endangered several riders to get in Kittel's wheel and in the end only finished 10th. Shouldn't they fine riders for such actions? |

Drapac will be a nice sprint team this year, cool to see Wippert going strong on that level.. Kittel though, no surprise.

It took a season for Drapac to gel together and the way Wippert came good last season they clearly are showing faith in him, expect to see them in the breaks and it wouldn't surprise to see them take a stage. Uni-SA have an exciting squad, really interested in what Haig and possibly Power can do and expect one of them to take the young riders Jersey. I have a feeling Evans won't do much, he just didn't look interested at the Nationals

Yeah really strong four out there. If ever there was a break that could make it on this sort of stage that's it.
I'm super excited for this real start to the season.
