Good luck for today, Tiago
Knowing Tiago like we know, he'll definitively try it! Boa Sorte Tiago!!
Knowing him as we know it, we know it will end up messing up.
Well he tried. I just didn't saw Hermans and he finished ahead of Tiago in GC. He could have waited and then go with Slagter. Damn you for being right

Hermans was probably in the big favourites group in the top 20. And what a race by Slagter and Gerrans

Such an impressive ride by Slagter. He's improved a lot in the last two years.

That was a great finish. Slagter was the most comfortable out there and really could have beat Gerrans in the sprint.

Wow, looked it back, and Slagter was great
Almost certain that he wins the GC now
Moreno was strong too today.

What a start of the season for Blanco. Kelderman also moves into top 10. Awesome!

Great irony. Rabobank pulls out the plug, not only because of doping but partly also because they always get criticized that their talents don't deliver. Then the follow-up team wins the first WT race of the year with a 23 dutchman from their own youth program.
I find it hilarious
Anyway, great acceleration by Slagter, seriously could become a great classics contender if he continues this way.

Boasson Hagen did some excellent work for Thomas there.
Too bad Slagter didn't win it, I like him a lot more than Simon wheelsucker Gerrans

Amazing racing by Slagter. Hopefully, nothing happens in the final stage so he wins this Tour Down Under!!

Kudos to organizers. Couple of years ago this will glorified race for sprinters and in few years they actually made it a very exciting race with the chosen routes.

Gerrans took a great win but I didn't expect Slagter to do that well. He was fantastic

It's very positive to see them in the Top 10, if they continue to progress well, without incident, their first victory will come soon.
