Road Race
Clear favourite for a sprint was Robbie McEwen, but a peloton of just 35 meant a break would likely make it - this race was wide open
A break went clear, and with SouthAustralia the only team with a hope of chasing having a rider in the break, it would make it
Hollands (Marco Polo), O'Neill (DFL), Roberts (FloGas) and Dempster (SouthAustralia.com)
O'Neill went clear with 30km left
And he took an easy win, a boring race
