Shake Hands & Sling 'Em
As they approached the first ascent of Willunga Hill, the three man break had already lost Jordan Kirby (Drapac) mainly due to the hard pace being set by Jack Bobridge (UniSA-Australia). Bobridge has stated his intention to try for the Hour Record one week after the end of the Tour Down Under. Today's stage was an excellent chance to both train for the attempt and to secure his King of the Mountains Jersey. His compatriot, Gregory Henderson (Lotto Soudal) reached back to shake Bobridge's hand, as he too, realized he could no longer hold the pace. Henderson's parting gesture included a Madison Sling, a hold over from the duo's days on the track.
