Another win for the Gorilla! Back in ochre.

According to http://live.cyclingnews.com/
Okay, provisional results suggest Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJ-BigMat) and Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky) took second and third.
  • Seems Mark Renshaw (Rabobank) was fourth with Robbie McEwen (GreenEdge) fifth

Freire retiring soon, the media suggests.

The Gorilla's long distance sprint victory of Stage 3 was just superb!

Brilliant Blend is the South Australian marketing slogan for attracting investment/tourism etc.
So I guess they are the sponsor. The award is for the team with the best time (based on their three top riders).

Gerrans was crowned the winner. How was the winner chosen in this event? Anybody knows the rules?


1 Simon Gerrans (Aus) GreenEDGE 20:46:12 2 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar 3 Tiago Machado (Por) RadioShack-Nissan 0:00:08 4 Michael Rogers (Aus) Sky Procycling 0:00:14
