Ella Simpson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93) was the next one to take on the death grip of the peloton. They seemed a bit less threatened by this Australian on the French team. Simpson built up almost two minutes before the peloton stormed into the intermediate sprint in Stirling. She did pull the gap back out a bit before things got serious behind. The peloton wasn't likely to repeat the mistake of the opening stage of this edition of the women's Tour Down Under.
