Whipping Up the Pace
With the second break of the day building up a minute and a half, if the sprinters wanted any chance of taking the victory in the final stage of the Tour Down Under they were going to have to whip up the pace and pull those guys back. So it was that Matteo Bono (Lampre-Merida) along with others came to the front for his man, Niccolo Bonifazio. The peloton was hitting sustained speeds of 52 kilometers per hour and yet it took several laps to pull the strong men in the break back into the fold.
