The twenty year old Mexican member of United Team Emirates, Issac Del Toro, jumped out of peloton and around the duo of Quinn Simmons and Bastien Tronchon. He quickly built a fifteen second gap, leaving him time to look back as the sprinters did all they could to catch him. His move ruined the plan of Israel Premier Tech that had tried to give the stage to their sprinter, Corbin Strong. Corbin’s teammate Stephen Williams was just behind his sprinter claiming third on the day. Behind the Israel Premier Tech duo, it was Ruben Guerrero (Movistar) was unable to get around the marquee sprinters that were able to hold onto the peloton. With the dropping of the Ochre Jersey, Del Toro’s win, he now moves into the lead of the Tour Down Under. Likewise, Strong’s second place moved him into second place on the general classification.
