Australia's oldest existing stage race. Ben Dyball will lead the field with Froome and Chaves being a decent sideshow. And an edition without Arthur's Seat after ages. Falls Creek will provide the sternest challenge.

Sounds like some kind of vision impairment (no disrespect to said rider intended)

yourpaceormine · February 2017

It's being shown via Facebook live at the moment. Danny vanPoppel has just set new course record apparently.

wombly_knees · February 2017

a way to go... But standings so far
1. 7 Danny VAN POPPEL (SKY) 2:32.56
2. 65 Alex FRAME (JLT) 2:33.56 +1
3. 96 Joseph COOPER (IWS) 2:36.69 +4

7. 11 Simon GERRANS 2:40.10 +8

Seems odd hearing about the 7 eleven team. Not a blast from the past a Philippines based team. (Had to Google that one)

wombly_knees · February 2017

Yeah, lost Junrey Navarra, one of their their main riders, to Dimension Data's feeder team. Used to be a much more Filipino team till last year, iirc.

Rob Power at 2:40 and Seb Henao 2:38

Had a look. Might just be at my end, but it's horribly choppy. Barely a video, more a series of stills.

Elissonde 2:44
Earle 2:42

Froome 2:39

Decent headstart for Joe Cooper, who was good in this race last year too.

I stopped watching just after Luke Rowe came in. Was okay but only 2 cameras, one on start and one on finish.

Can't complain really, as it means the season proper is not too far away.

And for those who don't know, DvP wasn't knocked off the top step.

Pross · February 2017

There was a brilliantly position road sign just by the finish line (presumably for a cycle lane) thanking the cyclists for riding slowly!

Play the soundtrack. Seems Benny Hill has been in the breakaway all day.

Might be a stage worth watching the highlights.

RichN95. · February 2017

Yay! A win for my man Luke.

I saw him on the podium and was surprised how short he was. Then I realised he was just standing next to Conor Dunne

inseine · February 2017

Luke Rowe wins on his own (first win since 2012). Condor boys still doing pretty well. No change overall as Scott-Orica get their leader back on after a late puncture.

Mikey23 · February 2017

And froome decided to slow down because he didnt want to take advantage of the race leader having a puncture at the bottom of the last climb. What a gent

Dyball attacked yesterday! On the final climb, no less.

Stannard faffing about with his zipper making it a bit close for comfort. Race for the helpers this time. Howson wins the overall classification.

Was the line the first thinner one?

wombly_knees · February 2017

Yes. Luckily for him.

blazing_saddles · February 2017

Just watched it on the Discover Channel's jewel in it's crown. :P
Very nicely judged, or a very risky sit up and salute.
Take yer pick.

salsiccia1 · February 2017

That is mental. Must be the drugs.
