Tour Down Under
Stage 2
Norwood-Campbelltown
116.9km
Another short stage in Australia as we head to Campbelltown with Corkscrew Hill in the final kilometers. This could be a route for the sprinters or the punchers, with the game suggesting Demare as the most likely to end on top.
It’s Fisher-Black in the white jersey leading the breakaway formation again, followed closely by Selimovic. The road heads uphill almost immediately making it easy for the attackers to create some separation. Buratti and Uhiriwe are the second group of attackers after Fisher-Black and Selimovic already gained a minute on the climb. Puccio follows closely after them in group 3. Wade, Varga, and Stoenchev tried to bridge, but instead everyone but the front two are back in the peloton.
With the leading duo almost 2 minutes ahead, more attacks see themselves out of the peloton. Buratti and Varga combine forces for an attack which is quickly followed by Puccio and Stoenchev. Ramirez also joins them, the only attacker not in the original attacks. Podium Ambition brings back the latter 3, but leave the 2nd duo to bridge to the front and establish the breakaway.
Selimovic had no desire to allow Fisher-Black full points at the top of Ashton hill, the beginning climb of the day that started after just 1km in the parcours. At the top, the two lead the 2nd group by a minute. They don’t fight for the last spot as Varga takes those points. After cresting, there’s still a minute to the front but 2 additional minutes to the peloton.
The four leaders come together around 98.5km to go after a tough chase for the back two. Together the lead is now 3:30 over the peloton lead by DK Zalgiris, Adidas - Eurocash and Tryg -Gobyk. Over the undulations before the 1st sprint point, the gap drops to 3:00 even.
Varga shows himself as the strongest on the flat with an incredible kick to the line. Buratti and Selimovic are able to hold on for the minor placings and close the gap as the road rose to the line, but could not overtake the Hungarian. At least, that was the appearance on first glance, but Buratti has been given the victory at intermediate 1, with Varga 2nd and Selimovic 3rd. Fisher-Black easily returned to the group after the sprint, but could not add to his young rider lead. As they ride along the plateau, the gap extends to 4:00 over the peloton and stabilizes.
The race continues without much worry from 75km to go until they approach the 2nd sprint point with 52km to go. The gap has descended to around 2:30, but that pacing has been gradual with a few more teams adding to the front in the likes of Lampre - Pinarello, Trans Looney Tunes and Podium Ambition. Still, at the sprint, Varga tries the same strategy and accelerates at 1km to go to establish a gap and wins again. Selimovic is overtaken at the line for 2nd with Buratti sliding in for the 2 bonus seconds. Buratti earning 5 bonus seconds will slot him above Fisher-Black for the white jersey as long as the finish line bonus seconds don’t change the outcome.
With 40 km to go, the peloton is maintaining the gap around 2:00-2:15 and dropping. At this point, the breakaway attempts to tackle Checker Hill without losing too much time.
Selimovic is the first to jump for the KoM points with Fisher-Black close behind. He must realize that by losing the white jersey, he may still have a way to wear a jersey in stage 3 by overtaking the polka dots.
Alas, Fisher-Black loses contact in the sprint to the line and Buratti pushes a massive burst to go from 4th to 1st in the final 250m of the climb. It’s Buratti, Selimovic, and Varga together to take the points. They do not slow down to allow Fisher-Black on but he manages to pull himself back to the front slowly. They all hold 2:00 minutes on the peloton with Fisher-Black dangling at about 20 seconds.
A group has fallen behind the peloton after Checker Hill with potential to return to the main grouping. It is led by Scully, who will be hoping to make it to the finish line for a potential sprinter. No other clear leaders have fallen back but Uhiriwe is also in this group. A group of 16 are even further back. Their gap is almost 2:30 to the front of the peloton. Scully does just enough to lead his group back but there are more undulations to come and gaps will open and close over the hilltops.
Fisher-Black could never fully reestablish himself and sadly returns to the peloton at 22km to go with the leading trio just 1:20 ahead. Leading the peloton are now Kraftwerk Man Machine to defend Haller’s leader’s jersey with Fastned and McCormick Pro Cycling now adding to the troops of DK Zalgiris who were helping earlier. De Buyst is furious at the front to lower the gap to 1:00 at the bottom of Corkscrew.
It is still De Buyst leading the peloton under the 10km to go banner and the 3 leaders are furiously trying to crest the Corkscrew. The gap is 600m and 1:04 seconds with 2.8km to go until the descent to the line. A steep 2.2km climb, there should be gaps if riders are not near the front of the peloton.
The trio are not giving up! Varga is attacking on the front with Selimovic and Buratti able to hold the wheel. Behind, the fight is on with De Buyst still attacking on the front. Bol and Stocker have appeared for Jura near the front alongside Pons for Podium Ambition. It is mostly sprinters at the front with Gesbert, Bobridge, and Demare the major exceptions in the first 20 spots of the peloton.
500m to go in the climb and Selimovic has reached his limit. Buratti bridges to Varga as they both struggle to maintain their composure. The gap to those two is down just a few seconds, but De Buyst has not been able to close the lead much. With 6km of descent to the line, Varga and Buratti should have a good shout if they can crest with a lead of 30 seconds or more.
Varga gaps Buratti with 300m left in the climb and leads the full field over the line. With 33 seconds over the peloton it will surely be close. Buratti is caught by the peloton (as is Selimovic) but Buratti still gains 2nd place at the KoM followed by Pons, Gesbert, and Quevedo. With 14 points each on the day, Varga and Buratti will sit behind Uhiriwe in the KoM standings. More importantly though is the stage victory which is still up for grabs!
With Varga passing under 5km to go, the head of the peloton is very unorganized. The best puncheurs have established themselves at the front without many domestiques and no major gaps have been opened in the peloton. Pons is still leading this group, but Mutsumine and Lagane are about 20 wheels back at this point.
The gap extends! Varga is now up 40 seconds on the peloton as they can’t figure out how to work together. Bobridge tries an attack that is quickly followed. For GC though, gaps have now been created in the peloton! Only 33 riders are in the front group. Some important riders dropped are Bagioli, Calmejane, Arndt and Mayer in A1. Narvaez is leading A2 even further back, but the gaps between groups are miniscule and could appear as nothing at the line.
The pacing by Bobridge does nothing and Varga is still alone with 35 seconds on the field in the finishing straight. A fantastic race to go solo to the line and outrace the main favorites. Team Popo4ever p/b Morshynska will be celebrating after a difficult day on stage 1.
Varga wins with the chasers barely in view about 500m behind!
Demare is leading the group to the line for 2nd where there are still 18 bonus seconds up for grabs from the GC group. Stannard sits in 3rd with Bobridge and Beltran trying to hold off Gesbert and Bol.
Demare easily takes the GC group, but Bol is coming strong as is Turgis. Bobridge and Stannard are still fighting to hold them off as Gesbert also attempts to follow on the left side. Beltran is here as is GC leader Haller who will give away the jersey.
Demare takes 2nd and Bol 3rd! Turgis has the quickest finish of the rest in 4th with Bobridge rounding out the top 5. Stannard, Gesbert, Beltran, De Buyst, and Haller are the remaining members of the top 10.
There is definitely a gap to the next group of riders which are being paced by Jura GIANTS and Simba Cement – Tanga Fresh which appear to miss the front group. The gap appears to be about 1:15 to Varga before checking the official results. Some smaller groups will definitely be coming in slowly after being distanced on the final climb.
Varga takes the overall lead and the stage victory by 35seconds. GC lead is now 29 seconds over Demare. With the breakaway points, Varga also manages to gain the points jersey by 1 point over Demare. Stannard gains the young rider’s jersey after finishing strongly in the front group and gaining some bonus seconds.
