It is a very fast downhill sprint coming into the finish with quite a few roundabouts so it should be good fun.

Greipel will finally get this.

The bupa ride is on tmrw, with me doing the 112km option. I'm not looking forward to it due to sunburn, but this will be my longest distance (so far- still young/ do not race ) so it should be a fun challenge.

I think that Orica will try to control in the first climb for the first sprint for Gerrans, and that, considering the small climb in the final kms, he will try to get seconds as well.
He can wait for a bad day of Evans in Willunga, but is not likely, he must get seconds today and try to win in Willunga.

Good team should be crucial then, in which case I'll go with Greipel.

I agree Kittel but not 5 lengths. Then Greipel, Viviani, and D Van Poppel. On second thought does Van Poppel have a lead out train with Trek?

In this race he only has his brother and Felline. But in other races I think he will have more support, they now have quite a few quick riders able to do it

His brother seems like a proper lead out man, more than a sprinter. And Danny looks quite fast although not very consistent.
