Another to Roll the Dice TDU25-3
Shortly after the peloton went over the only catagorized climb of Stage One of the Tour Down Under, it was Daniek Hengeveld (Ceratizit) who went off on a solo attack. At first, the peloton only gave her a few seconds so her effort looked to be in vain. However, they seemed to have underestimated her strength and resolve. At this point she has two minutes on the rest of the Tour. With another twenty-seven kilometers left to ride it was a bit of a roll of the dice whether this effort would pay dividends. Spoiler, the peloton never saw the Dutch woman again. Hengeveld will be starting stage two in the Ochre Jersey of race leader with about thirty seconds in hand.
