Hi and welcome to Stage 6 of this year’s first and foremost UCI World Tour event, the Santos Tour Down Under.

We have been and gone through nearly the entire tour, as we enter into today’s final dash we are left to reflect on yesterday.

Simon Gerrans captured the hearts and souls of Australian’s all around the world, celebrating Australia day in winning fashion.

In the race for General Classification, TJ Slagter of Team Blanco took control and a valiant second place on the stage that finished up to historical Old Willunga.

Today we conclude with 20 laps of a 4.5km inner-Adelaide kermesse. Wind shouldn’t be an issue today, leaving little possibility for Slagter’s GC challengers to take back seconds, besides the sprint bonuses.

I am hoping to see a race ‘on from the gun’ in hot pursuit of these precious bonus seconds.

Join us for updates & live blog of the race.
