Not Only the Stage TDU25-31
With the title, you know that Javier Romo (Movistar) didn't just win the stage, but he also is the new Ochre Jersey in the Tour Down Under. He had started the day sitting in 99th place but had the belief to attack in the closing kilometers. Of course, he also had the legs to back up his faith in himself. He held off the peloton, winning the stage by five seconds. You can just see the rest of the reduced peloton just coming into view. Along with those seconds, he also got a ten second time bonus for winning the stage. He now has an eight second lead, but that is not much considering that the guy siding in 20th is just thirty seconds off the pace.
