Since I don't know both climbs: what is the difference between the 2?The Falls Creek climb suits Howson's characteristics - He'll be less suited by Mt Buller but is still my favorite - Have no idea what happened to Yates as his form had been good.

In the women’s race, the 2nd and final stage is won by Ella Harris from NZ, Sarah Gigante 2nd.
Lucy Kennedy 3rd, a few seconds back and that’s enough for the GC win I believe.
Mt Buller.,Falls Creek is a 30km climb with an average gradient of 4.0 while Mt Beauty is around 16kms at 5.9km.
Who is this Berwick guy?
As predicted the climb didn't suit Howson - It's been an ordinary Aussie summer for MS - Got nothing out of the TDU, things didn't fall their way in the Cadel Evans race and they should have been winning the herald Sun tour with Yates - Yates form in this race was a mystery if he you consider his form in the TDU and Cadel's race - Berwick has more all-round ability than Alexander Evans who is riding Pro-Conti in Europe this year for Wanty - Berwick needs to ride in Europe for a good Pro Conti team to further develop his skills.
Hindley is no slouch on the real climbs, he's becoming a true WT level climbing domestique. Berwick is probably worth a chance.I’d guess that WT teams will want to have a look at Berwick. It’s a weak field and early season, but his climbing has been very good.
fark. Spewin. I didn't know thatEurosport has been dumped off Foxtel which puts us Aussies in the dark for 90% of the cycling season.
It's on Fetch nowfark. Spewin. I didn't know that
White won't throw him to the wolves, they'll have a sound race schedule planned for a neo pro.It will be interesting to see how MS place Groves for the rest of the season - He's not at the level of the top guys yet, though they may come in two or three seasons - Hope he does one or two WT races, smaller stage races and has a taste of the classics.
