Tour Down Under 2016

Tour Down Under 2016: Sprint victory Ewan stage 6, Gerrans overall winner

The 2016 Tour Dow Under closes the curtains with a local criterium in Adelaide. Caleb Ewan is in a class of his own, outsprinting Mark Renshaw by a bike length or two. For the fourth time in his career, Simon Gerrans takes the GC in his home race.

For the third year in a row Richie Porte manages to win the Queen stage in the Tour Down Under. He attacks at the foot of the closing climb up Willunga Hill and the only riders with a reaction are Sergio Henao and Michael Woods. However, the duo can not bridge the gap and the Tasmanian powers to the win. Leader Simon Gerrans is perfect in damage control and loses 17 seconds, meaning he still enjoys a 9 seconds margin ahead of tomorrow's criterium in Adelaide.
