Tour Down Under Stage 5: Way Off the Front

The early break of the day, started by Jordan Kirby (Drapac), went as soon as the start flag dropped at the end of the neutral roll out.  Even though the participants were facing the longest stage in the 2015 Tour Down Under, Gregory Henderson (Lotto Soudal) and new home town hero, Jack Bobridge (UniSA-Australia) quickly joined Kirby in the small break away.  Bobridge was hoping to get to the top of the first trip up Willunga Hill first ensuring his hold on the King of the Mountains Jersey all the way to the end of the Tour.
