Craddock led the field throughout the day and dropped back early (and finished last with over 10 minutes behind Bobridge). Geschke and Dumoulin were focusing on their GC prospects. That leaves Haga, Timmer and de Kort, with the latter needed for his leadout duties. Hard to control a break of TT machines like Westra and Durbridge with such a small team.
The Nine commentary was quite good.42x16ss said:Not cool! Maybe try the Wide World of Sports live feed:

Warning - the commentary will almost certainly be cringeworthy unless Robbie McEwen gets a run.

Boom, Von Hoff, Haussler and Lobato are also in with a good chance.
