Today's stage started with a climb just ten kilometers in. As the peloton neared the top of Windy Point, Alyssa Polites (ARA Australian Cycling) jumped free chased by the Polish Champion Dominika Wlodarczyk (UAE Team ADQ). Unfortunately for Polites in her Polka Dot Jersey, Wlodarczyk was able to get around the young Australian to claim maximum points. Her effort allowed her to pull even in points with Polites. Later in the stage, the Polish Champion gained one more Queen of the Mountain points on the fabled Willunga Hill climb. So it was brief tenure in the mint polka dots for Polites as Wlodarczyk will trade in her national jersey for the Queen of the Mountains Jersey tomorrow.
