Bupa Stage 4 was Norwood to Tanunda. It wasn’t good for Andre Greipel and definitely has no chance of catching up the 7 to 8 minutes he lost today. Oscar Freire (KAT) won the stage with a sprint finish. Martin Kohler (BMC) put on the Ochre Jersey. Edvald Boasson Hagen (SKY) has the Jayco Sprint Jersey and Rohan Dennis (UNI) has the Skoda Mountain Jersey. It will be interesting to see how these riders go in the two remaining stages! Unfortunately I wasn’t at Stage 4 because I was riding with my Melbourne friends to Willunga. Yes, I know we went a day before the race but we wanted to do the ride without having to worry about thousands of spectators. For more information on the race click here.
Also you may wonder why the photo is a Rapha Coffee Machine. I wasn’t at the start, so I couldn’t take photos… So I took this substitute!
