3 guys have broken off the front of the peloton. I think Bobridge was there. There are now 3 groups.

Euskatel are attacking!

 

[Bailey]

Now all together. Stretched out up the climb.

 

[Bailey]

Looks like Euskaltel want this today.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Not many people up there on Wilunga Hill

 

[Ferminal]

Great to see Youskadi on the front.

 

[Bailey]

Roberts looking very strong.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Go euskatel!!!!!! You have gotta love those guys!

 

[Ferminal]

Roberts will win the KoM now.

 

[Bailey]

Two clear. Roberts attacks. Gets the points. Sits up. Won't work with a Movistar rider who asked if he was keen.

McLovin bridged the gap to Roberts.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Madrazo has attacked!

Phil and Paul have made their undies all sticky that Lance is trying to get away.

Goes and throws up.

 

[Bailey]

Disorganized attack by Armstrong and Radioshack with a few others.

Bailey - I don't think anybody is expecting a Tour of Australia kind of thing where they go from Perth to Sydney or whatever, because the distances are too great to cover in anything shy of Grand Tour length - and even then it would be very difficult because of the location of the population centres. However, nothing's stopping a bit of rotation, so we get South Australia hosting it one year and alternating it with Victoria and Queensland, for example.

Or at least could the race organisers try doing slightly different routes? You could even have the same starts and finishes, keep it around Adelaide, just vary the route a little.

You wouldn't want to be racing in Queensland ATM. Unless you have them do a mass TT to try and avoid being washed away by flood waters...

 

[Bailey]

200 meters from the peloton now. Decent little group, here, if they can get themselves organized...

He has Sky Sports.

May a wizened fortune teller spit on him and all of his children, and his children's children.
