Tour Down Under Stage 5: Snapper Point - Willunga 148km

[Ferminal]

I heard Lance was bridging and about to catch, just like Verbier.

Sadly i think it is too far to the finish and they will get caught IMO.

Gap is 33 sec

no idea how far there is to go... they are not giving us any distances..

ok.. 5km to go.. 30 seconds... gonna be close for the win...

BUt whatever, they aint gonna get enough to take ochre

So there was all this hype about the hill and the leaders weren't even able to get 40 seconds on it. I think that I agree with Dim that Willunga may have an impressive repuation, but doesn't really live up to it at all.

5km to go these guys might stay away...

If so, HTC-Coumbia will use up a lot of the lead out men for Greipel.

Was hoping someone would say that

All flat and straight to the finish, is there much wind?

There are time bonuses which will likely go back the other way tomorrow!
