Finally, it was this duo of Logan Owen (EF Education First-Drapac) and Ben O'Connor (Dimension Data) who got a solid lead on the peloton. Their two minute lead also meant that they sucked up all of the bonus seconds out on course all put ensuring that Daryl Impey (Mitchelton-Scott) would go out the over all winner of the 20th Tour Down Under. Owen appears to be asking O'Connor whether they should continue with the effort or admit defeat to the closing peloton. Or perhaps he was asking if the Dimension Data man had any power left in his legs, since Owen left on his own on the next lap.
