Paging Captain Obvious, mate...

From CN's coverage of the Aussie men's road race natz:

"...In arguably the best racing ever witnessed at the national championships, the race did not have a clear winner until the last of the gruelling 16 laps of the 10.1 kilometre Buninyong course, which had seen the field decimated from the opening circuit where GreenEdge immediately went on the attack through defending champion Jack Bobridge and Luke Durbridge..."

I wouldn't have thought the race would have a clear winner until he crossed the finish line at the conclusion of the final lap. Wow. Really?

maybe someone could've gotten in the break and ride the last 2 laps with 10 mins on the peloton :p
