This stage always offers quite a bit of variety in scenery for the riders to work too hard to see The route takes the peloton through the vineyards of Snapper Point out to the coast and then up one of the longest climbs near Adelaide As the four man break swings down along the coastal road the helicopter was showing shots of a large pod of dolphins playing in the bright blue waters of the Southern Ocean Jack Bauer (Quickstep) is sporting the red bib numbers of the most competitive rider from his efforts in yesterday's stage. He was given the honor again today for this effort He is being lead along the coast by Jeremy Maison (FDJ) - just out of frame - Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) and Will Clarke (Cannondale-Drapac) I wonder if a dip in the cool waters crossed any of their minds
