From the firing of the starting pistol, the final stage of the Tour Down Under was on. Immediately Laurens De Vreese and Lieuwe Westra (Astana) jumped off the line at full speed. Since the stage was going to be a 20 lap circuit on the downtown streets of Adelaide, the organizers dispensed with the usual neutral start. As soon as pedals were spinning, it was time to race. The Astana duo was quickly joined by Adam Phelan riding for the wild card Australian team, Drapac Professional Cycling. Bridging across the going break were Carlos Verona (Etixx-Quickstep) and George Bennett (LottoNL Jumbo). Etixx-Quickstep has had a surprisingly quiet Tour, I feel like this is the first time I have seen their new kit, certainly the first time I have painted it.
