A team will have a designated leader, sometimes it may have two different objectives. or two possible race contenders. For BMC Pro Cycling, they have the luxury of riches, Rohan Dennis started the day in third overall, with their new recruit, Richie Porte not far behind. However, these guys and their positions on GC meant that the rest of the team had to work just that much harder. As the peloton road through Willunga Hill for the final time, those teammates would had spent themselves in support of their leaders, dropped to the back of the pack and prepared to fight another day. Maarten Tjallingii (LottoNL Jumbo0, Ian Stannard (Team Sky) dropped back along with the duo of Alessandro De Marchi (BMC) and Peter Velits (BMC) having done what they could for their teams. I just now noticed that I never painted in the black area on the small of the backs of the BMC kit.
