Heading towards the first elimination - who will fall at the first hurdle?

Muntaner and Lauge seem to be in a bit of trouble

But as they go safe, it is now Kluge at the back

The German somehow manages to push his way wide

And Shchedov is out!

We move onto the next elimination quickly

Heimans, O'Reilly and Chrsitian are potential casualties here

But the latter 2 go roudn the outside, as Heimans is not as quick

Quick enough though, he makes it safe as David Muntaner is left stranded and eliminated

Petrovskiy takes his turn to live dangerously, hanging off the back

Looking up the inside probably wont work for him, but De Neef is now also struggling

They both make it over the top though - and it is Cody O'Reilly who is out

Avila and Dostal take to the front, with Kneisky sat on the back

But there is a whole line of people who could be eliminated, not just Kneisky

Petrovskiy and Heimans appear to be in the most trouble

But infact it is Mark Christian who is out

Aeschbasch takes control and powers the peleton as numerous riders are swinging up the banking in a bid to survive

De Neef and Bobridge are at the back, but on the outside

Its very tight on the line between Avila and Viviani - and the Colombian is the unlucky one

It doesnt matter how stretched out the riders get in the lap and a half following an elimination

For they are always bunched up again as the sprint hits full flow

A line of 8 is forming, with Kluge in the unwanted position of behind that line

But Lauge throws Kluge a lifeline as he gets caught behind another rider

Lauge just makes it through though, and Kluge is gone

We are into the final 9 now

And the Melbourne winner Kneisky is finding himself in a spot of bother

Petrovskiy is back there once again too, but Kneisky has no fight in him today and is out

Theres a great big line of riders now and Petrovskiy is caught behind it

Petrovskiy is now gapped and could be in trouble

But he has the pace and puts himself into safety - now who is going to be out?

Its Bobridge!

7 riders left now

And Viviani appears to be struggling

Theres no coming back, he is spent - and now out

Riders arent given a chance to bunch up as Lauge and Petrovskiy get a little gap

The plan goes wrong for the Dane though, he soon finds himself in trouble

The riders cross the line one by one, Lauge can do nothing and must accept elimination

Aeschbasch, Petrovskiy, De Neef, Heimans and Dostal are the final 5 - three of them reached this stage yesterday

But it seems Heiman or Dostal wont have the chance to improve on their best finish

Heimans takes the advantage, but is caught behind the other 2 riders

And Dostal uses this to his advantage and edges past on the line to eliminate Heimans

4 left now, as Aeschbasch and Dostal hit the front

And it seems that De Neef and Petrovskiy will now be battling to make it into the final 3

De Neef is stronger but has less room than the Russian

But Petrovskiy just cant take advantage, and is out

Dostal, De Neef and Aeschbasch are the final 3

And neither of them seem to be significantly stronger or weaker than each other

Dostal is knocked out as De Neef and Aeschbasch are through to the final 2

The stay side by side, going into the final lap

De Neef edges infront

But Aeschbasch is not ready to give up

He closes back in on the Belgian, and its going to be a close finish

Aeschbasch takes victory on the line!
