Tour Down Under. Aussi day .

 

Australia to Australians. At the Tour Down Under, the guys from the southern continent always feel bad when a northerner scoops up the most prizes. After all, you're at home and you want to set the tone. If there has been a lack of tennis in recent times, you still want to be the champion in cycling. It was difficult for many to hear that a certain Phil Bauhaus scooped the cream out of the butterpot yesterday. 

Today, however, you want to show it to the nation. Doun under didn't mean under also ran. That's why there are 4 brave Aussilein at the top of the race. But others had joined the group. The boys had the Wiind on the way there and were happy that the peloton was having a hard time.

Later. when things subsided, she was able to salvage her lead. However, Michael Matthews had to say goodbye with stomach problems. Then there was the surprise of the day. The time trialist Rohan Dennis made his fellow sprinters small. As is well known, friendship ends a few kilometers before the finish line. One devotes oneself to the crododile tears and they are often bitter. Especially when you get the edge like Jay Vine and Jai Hindley. But they are climbers and not of the flat, fast kind.

11 seconds later, the desperate peloton reached the target region. Here, too, Caleb Ewan, an Aussi, shone again. He won the sprint for the golden pineapple. Alberto Bettiol was replaced in the overall standings. The new leader is now Dennis Rohan.
