Stage 5 i sth eone with 2 ascends of Willunga HIll. But the finish isn't at the top, but after 18 descending and flat kilometres. That's why, the stage is classified as flat.
119km to go
To show you I've figured out how to give the new Red Bull team their new Cervélo bikes, here is a picture of Dominic Klemme, the first attacker of the day (only problem left is that the Androni's ride with different brands of bikes, one on Cube, the other on Colnago...)
110km to go
Klemme gets caught and we prepare for the Intermediate sprint. Just as the previous stages, only Matti Breschel seems to be interested in the 3 bonus seconds. He wins the sprint, and enlarges his margin in the GC to 6 seconds.
41km to go
A big group of 16 riders forms the BOTD. Best classified in the GC is Elia Viviani, being a little over 4 minutes behind in the GC. Their maximum margin is 6 minutes, when Omega Pharma - Quick Step decides to step up the pace in the peloton.
But the leading 16 arrive at the summit of Willunga Hill for the first time with a margin of 1'40. Russell Downing (Qantas) takes the 16 points, followed by Enrico Sanz (Movistar) and Gene Michael Bates (Lotto).
18km to go
5 riders of the BOTD attacked on the flat and started the 2nd ascend of Willunga Hill with a margin of 30 seconds. But thanks to hard work by Euskaltel's Eduard Prades, the 5 (Martin Kohler (BMC), Murilo Fischer (Sony Ericsson), Jesse Sergent (Radio Shack), Elia Viviani (Liquigas) and Nikolai Trussov (Katusha) get caught. The peloton is still 1'32 behind.
10km to go
At the summit of Willunga Hill, all other teams start looking at us. They want us to do the chase to catch the BOTD. Well, with Farrar and Rojas being the better sprinters, and thus having a chance of taking 10 bonus seconds, we can't use a mass sprint.
So, we decide not to do the chase, and as a result, no team does. The margin has grown to almost 3 minutes, so it's safe to increase the pace again.
Finish
A split has occurred in the leading group in the last 10km and 9 riders will fight for the stage win. But it's not the better sprinters among these 9, as Murilo Fischer, Russel Downing or Elia Viviani, that win the stage. It's the best climber among them! Euskaltel's Eduard Prades surprisingly wins the 5th stage in the Tour Down Under, taking his biggest career win so far! Martin Kohler finishes in 2nd and Viviani in 3rd.
The peloton finishes 1'57 behind Prades, and as expected Farrar wins the sprint in front of Rojas. Breschel finishes as the 5th of the peloton and stays in the GC-lead.

Word from the DS
Perfect tactical racing from the team. But what are the other teams expecting? That we reel in the BOTD, and Farrar or Rojas outsprints us for the win and GC-lead??? No way...
So, only the Adelaide circuit left, including 16 bonus sconds to be awarded...

Great team! Very good situation for Breschel, but he has to watch Rojas in the last stage. Good luck! |

Here we go! Last stage of the Tour Down Under and the question is: Can Matti Breschel stay in the orange leader jersey, or does José Joaquin Rojas or Tyler Farrar win the stage and overtake him in the GC?
57km to go
The 6th stage with start and finish in Adelaide starts the same way as all the other stages. A few riders try to form a breakaway, but everything (thanks to our team) gets togeher before the first Intermediate sprint.
And just as in the previous stages, only Matti Breschel is interested in the 3 bonus seconds, and wins the sprint. Don't Farrar and Rojas know that they will losse the Tour Down Under because of the Intermediate sprint, or are they that confident for the mass sprint???
22km to go
2 riders go in the attack after the Intermediate sprint. Red Bull's Michael Schär and Katusha's Alexander Porsev. 22 kilometres before the finish, climbing the horrible steep and high Montafiore Hill for the penultimate time, they have a margin of 35 seconds over a threesome with Dominique Rollin (FDJ), Juan Antonio Flecha (Sky) and Matthew Hayman (Qantas).
The peloton follows at 1'41 and of course our riders don't help in the chase. The domestiques of Garmin and Omega Pharma have to do the work.
7km to go
The two leading group merge, and shortly after Porsev and Rollin got dropped. 3 riders attack out of the peloton, namely George Hincapie (BMC), Nikolas Maes (Lotto) and Niki Terpstra. Yes, we do everything to disrupt the chase .
Hayman is desperate to make the home soil-tour for himself and his team a succes, and attacks again. Flecha follows at 8 seconds, the group with Hincapie, Maes, Schär and Terpstra at 20 seconds and the peloton at '44. Still, everything is possible.
1500m to go
The leading group can't make it untill the finish and gets caught with 1500 metres to go. In the outside of the corner, Mirco Lorenzetto (Androni) is the first one who starts his sprint. Matti Breschel is already 10 kilometres in the wheel of Tyler Farrar.
300metres to go
The punch from Lorenzetto is stronger than Tyler Farrar must have expected. With only 300 metres to go, the Italian is still in the lead, followed by Farrar and Breschel. Farrar has to win the stage, but then even a 3rd place is enough for the Dane.
Finish
Mirco Lorenzetto proves to be our secret helper by winning the stage. A great punch by him. Farrar finishes in 2nd and Breschel in 3rd. This means, Matti Breschel wins the 2013 Santos Tour Down Under!!
Results
| 1 | Mirco Lorenzetto | Androni Giocattoli | 2h00'27 | | 2 | Tyler Farrar | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step | s.t. | | 3 | Matti Breschel | Monster Energy - Subway | s.t. | | 4 | Mathieu Drujon | FDJ | s.t. | | 5 | Denis Galimzyanov | Katusha Team | s.t. | | 6 | Koldo Fernández | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. | | 7 | Leonardo Duque | Radio Shack - Nissan | s.t. | | 8 | Aidis Kruopis | Qantas Airways | s.t. | | 9 | Sébastien Turgot | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 10 | William Bonnet | FDJ | s.t. |

Overall winner
Word from the DS
Did we dominate the Tour Down Under? No! Were we the smartest team? Absolutely!
Thanks to one stage win and collecting bonus seconds in Intemediate sprints, Matti Breschel wins the GC (and the points ranking). Niki Terpstra wins the KOTM-ranking, for the 3rd year in a row that a Monster Energy-rider wins it (2 previous year Bobridge). And not to forget Maaskant and Rosseler with a 7th and 10th place in the GC!

The favourites
*** Grega Bole (Lampre), Domenico Pozzovivo (Colnago), Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil).
** Marc De Maar, Leonardo Bertagnolli (Lampre), Xavier Florencio (Nespresso).
* Tadej Valjavec (Astana), Santa Anza (Vacansoleil), Pietro Caucchiolo (Lampre).
Our goals
With a very strong Lampre-team present in Calabria, it will be difficult to get a place in the Top 3. So we'll aim for the top 5.
Stage 1
The first stage starts in Melito. After about 155 flat kilometres along the coast, the last 7 are ascending with maximum gradients of 9% and the finish awaits in Catanzano at an altitude of 461 metres after 162 kilometres.
A group of 12 riders takes a maximum margin to the peloton of 6'30. Most known names are Maarten Tjallingii (Pisanellastoria), Paolo Tiralongo (Astana), Matteo Pelucchi (Nespresso), Andrea Guardini (Farnese Vini) and good-old Stefano Garzelli (Acqua et Sapone).
Lampre is doing the chase in the peloton, but possibly due to the extreme hard wind (69km/h!) they can't close the gap before the final climb starts. The leading group still has a margin of 2 minutes, but that margin fades rapidly. Nespresso's Matteo Pelucchi manages to slowly ride away from his companions and is heading towards the stage win.
3 riders can attack out of the peloton: Grega Bole (Lampre), Domenico Pozzovivo (Colnago) and Marc De Maar. They start to overtake the members of the breakaway one by one, but Pelucchi stays out of reach. The 24-year-old Lombardian wins the first stage of the Giro della Calabria, with a margin of '20 to Eddy Ratti (Colnago, who was also part of the BOTD) and Bole. Pozzovivo (5th) and De Maar (7th) finish at '26.
Results
| 1 | Matteo Pelucchi | Nespresso - Algarve | 3h36'28 | | 2 | Eddy Ratti | Colnago - CSF Inox | + 20 | | 3 | Grega Bole | Lampre - Generali | s.t. | | 4 | Ramunas Navardauskas | ISD - Lampre Continental | + 26 | | 5 | Domenico Pozzovivo | Colnago - CSF Inox | s.t. | | 6 | Daniel Vestergaard | Onfone | s.t. | | 7 | Marc De Maar | Monster Energy - Subway | s.t. | | 8 | Robert Radosz | Bank BGZ | s.t. | | 9 | Pietro Caucchioli | Lampre - Generali | s.t. | | 10 | Uros Murn | Adria Mobil | s.t. |

Stage 2
The 2nd stage is the queen's stage. The 183km long route between Soveranto and Vibo Valento features a very hilly first part, with lost of short steep climbs, and, after a flat middle part, some climbing in the last 30 kilometres.
Today's race is made by 8 riders, that have attacked early in the stage. The 8, including Tadej Valjavec (Astana) and Enrico Rossi (Pisanellastoria) create a maximum margin of 5'15. When the last climb starts, with 28 kilometres to go (and 8 ascending ones), they still lead by 3'13.
After 1 ascending kilometre, Stijn Devolder (Vacansoleil) attacks and he's followed by Grega Bole (Lampre). They can close the ga to the leading group and are only '36 behind at the summit (Francesco De Bonis of Amore & Vita is the first at the summit, followed by Valjavec and Bank's Blazej Janiaczyk). 1'36 behind ride Marc De Maar and Cristiano Benenati (De Rosa). The peloton follows at 2'08.
Bole and Devolder close the gap to the 8 leaders, and so does the peloton to De Maar and Benenati. Than when the road starts to ascend in the last 2 kilometres, Devolder attacks. Bole easily counters, overtakes Devolder and wins the stage. He also becomes the new GC-leader. The peloton, led by Domenico Pozzovivo, manages to catch all former breakaways except De Bonis, an dfinishes at '59.
Results
| 1 | Grega Bole | Lampre - Generali | 5h06'48 | | 2 | Stijn Devolder | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 3 | Francesco De Bonis | Amore & Vita | + 37 | | 4 | Domenico Pozzovivo | Colnago - CSF Inox | + 59 | | 5 | Blazej Janiaczyk | Bank BGZ | s.t. | | 6 | Tadej Valjavec | Pro Team Astana | s.t. | | 7 | Enrico Rossi | Pisanellastoria - Guerciotti | s.t. | | 8 | Gregor Gazvoda | Adria Mobil | s.t. | | 9 | Massimo Giunti | ISD - Lampre Continental | s.t. | | 10 | Marc De Maar | Monster Energy - Subway | s.t. |
Today's winner
Stage 3
The last stage from Pizzo to Reggio Calabria is hilly as well, but the last 45 kilometres are flat.
A 12-man breakaway manages to stay out of reach of the peloton (to be honest, team Lampre didn't want to do the chase). Polish Pawel Sztobryn (Bank BGZ) is the strongest in the sprint and takes his first ever professional win. Michael Reihs (Onfone) finishes in 2nd and Francesco Tizzo (Pisanellastoria) in 3rd.
