Tour Down Under - Stage 1
Prospect - Clare

First stage of this year's Tour Down Under is mostly flat with few hills that shouldn’t cause any major problems for the sprinters. We should expect a bunch sprint, but the last hill will give advantage to likes of Bennati or Matthews.

50km/h winds makes the peleton strung out today. Will be tough 100km ahead of the peleton. Vinther and Marycz will do the job of protecting Nuyens and Cantwell to save up little energy for the finale

Navardauskas ( Garmin ) Graziato ( Lampre ) Dehaes ( Lotto ) & Canuti ( Liquigas ) form today's break. It's the Italian, Canuti who wins the King of Mountain points and will take the lead in the classification.

As predicted it's GreenEdge and Radioshack running the bussiness in the peleton. Davis and Bennati should both fancy their chances today. There will be some pressure on GreenEdge to perform, after failing to score a win at the National Champiships.

With 2km to go Nueyns and Cantwell decide to join the Orica's GreenEdge's train driving it for Alan Davis. On the other side we have the Radioshack train who's looking to challenge GreenEdge today. However it won't be Cantwell's day who's already struggling to follow Nueyns's wheel,

Easy stage for our team today. It's our first race of the season and we didn't expect much. Cantwell didn't feel great and faded in the sprint, while Nueyns finished safely in the bunch, scoring decent Top 20. All looks good for tomorrow hilly stage.

Tour Down Under - Stage 2
Lobethal – Stirling

Second stage is also the 2nd toughest stage at the TdU. 4 laps around Stirling will make sure pure sprinters will find it hard to win here. There'll be lots of attacks coming from GC contenders here, but expect few teams trying to pull it for a bunch sprint. Bennati seems in great shape and Radioshack will try to do just that today.

Troels Vinther is the man pushing the pace in order to catch the early break-away riders. We want to have presence in today's break with Luke Roberts.

We did succeed so, and form the break of the day along Evgeni Petrov and Kenny Dehaes.

On the only categorized climb of the day, the fans witnessed epic battle for the points edged out by smallest of margins by Evgeni Petrov over Luke Roberts. However it's still good points overhaul for Luke, tomorrow he'll try again to take the jersey.

With 20km to go Danielle Ratto ( Liquigas ) is trying to escape the peleton. Radioshack and Saxobank have the highest presence in the peleton at this stage.

We don't want any dangerous escapees and so it's up to David Tanner to catch Ratto... !

5km to go ! David Tanner furious chase brought the result, as we have the escapees in our sight now. It's time for Nuyens and Morkov to move through the pack and control any dangerous attacks.

3.5km to go and Nuyens's sees a dangerous attack by Millar. He's going with his instincts and joins the move. Let's see if it pays off.

1km to go and Millar sat up while Nuyens begins his acceleration to the finish line ! The peleton closed on us after early lead... Nuyens has a mere few bikes lenght lead at this moment. It looks like we'll be caught.

Nuyens demonstrated massive acceleration to keep the peleton off his back and still leads with 50 metres to go... But now it's Lastras and Bennati who begin their final sprint... and they look ominously strong.
