As the lead peloton swung on to the main road of Willunga, the could see the finish line up the rise. This is the first time I can remember the Tour Down Under not riding out of town and up Willunga Hill. I am sure all of the sprinters were quite happy to finish before hitting that climb. Alexis Renard (Cofidis) lead a rider from Israel-Premier Tech, Emils Liepins (Trek-Segafredo) and the front half of all of those still left in the Tour. I am sorry I wasn't able to figure out who the Israel-Premier Tech rider was, the image was rather pixelated. He soon swung off to let his sprinter, Corbin Strong do what he could on the day.
