Greipel grabs another at Santos Tour Down Under, setting new stage win record

Thomas holds onto slender lead over Slagter as race heads towards Old Willunga Hill finish

Andre GreipelOnce again smashing the sprint and finishing several bike lengths clear of his rivals, Andre Gripel raced to the thirteenth Santos Tour Down Under stage victory of his career today. The victory into Tanuda gave him the outright record, lifting him above the twelve wins set by Robbie McEwen during the Australian’s own pro career.

“There was a bit of crosswind and then the headwind in the last two kilometres, it was pretty messy,” said Greipel, who also won the People’s Choice Classic on Sunday and stage one on Tuesday. “The team did a good job to keep in the front. We did the perfect leadout again. We work good together. It's just nice to have those teammates.”

With tomorrow’s stage set to finish on top of Old Willunga Hill, Greipel won’t be in the running for the victory. However Sunday’s concluding leg of the race traditionally ends in a bunch sprint and could give him a platform to nab his fourteenth win.

He said that he didn’t want to consider that right away, but rather to focus on his recovery. “First I am thinking about the air conditioning in the hotel,” he said, when asked about his chances. “Tomorrow I will try to rest and then think about Sunday.”

Greipel was shepherded towards the line by his Lotto Belisol team, which kept him out of trouble amid several crashes. Sprint rival Tyler Farrar was one of those who came down, but the Garmin Sharp rider didn’t appear too badly hurt. Australians Graeme Brown (Blanco) and Bernie Sulzberger (UniSA-Australia) also hit the deck during the stage and will undergo x-rays, while Matt Goss and his Orica GreenEdge team-mate Daryl Impey similarly lost out on their chances of disputing the sprint.

Roberto Ferrari (Lampre-Merida), Jonathan Cantwell (Team Saxo Tinkoff) and Andrew Fenn (Omega Pharma-Quick-Step) finished closest to Greipel, but never looked like troubling him for the win.

“I was well positioned on Andre Greipel’s wheel,” said Ferrari afterwards. “I’ve fought a lot to be there but he was clearly superior. My head is ready for winning but I lack a bit of power still. Finishing second sucks but I have to take it as a good result for now.”

Cantwell had more frustration about his own sprint played out, feeling that he was a little held back. In reality, though, it’s hard to see anyone as being quick enough to beat Greipel.

“There was a crash with about one kilometre to go, but I was already ahead of that,” he said. “When it came to the sprint, I got a little boxed in. I couldn't open up until 150 metres to go. I came through super-fast. Who knows, maybe with another couple metres I could have improved by a position or two.” He said that he would try again on Sunday.

Before then, ongoing race leader Geraint Thomas will seek to defend his jersey tomorrow on Old Willunga Hill. If he holds ochre tomorrow evening, he’s likely to take the overall classification.

“RadioShack is strong. Blanco and Movistar have two guys. They will all be coming pretty hard at the bottom,” he said. “I am a bit tired now, it's the first race of the season. I am going to give it everything, hopefully that will be enough.”

World champion on the attack:

The 126.5km stage ran from Modbury to Tanudda and saw 130 starters. The first successful attack of the day was launched by the world road race champion Philippe Gilbert, who was frustrated with being delayed by a crash two days ago and losing out on his GC chances. He raced clear with the current under 23 Australian TT champion Damien Howson (UniSA-Australia) and together they build a lead of three and a half minutes.

Howson led Gilbert over the top of the Humbug Scrub climb (category two, km 30.2), while behind Jack Bobridge (Blanco Pro Cycling) took third and grabbed the lead in the Skoda King of the Mountains competition. “"My first goal is to help “TJ” [his team-mate Tom Jelte Slagter – ed.] to win the tour,” he said afterwards. “Secondly, the KOM is something possible to take. My form is coming, but very slowly, you can’t rush form.

“I’ve been sick yesterday so hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a good day and we’ll get the maximum result up Willunga Hill.”

Gilbert and Howson continued racing onwards and finished in that order at the intermediate sprints at Mount Pleasant (km 80.6) and Springton (km 89.3). Behind, Graeme Brown (Blanco Pro Cycling) nabbed third in both those sprints, making the effort to stop race leader Thomas picking up the bonus seconds and extending his slender lead over Slagter.

The leading duo kept digging in but were eventually hauled back by the peloton just six kilometres from the line. They had the consolation of sharing the Europcar Most Competitive Rider award but for Howson, being clear with the world champion made a bigger impression.

“It was a huge honour to be away with Philippe Gilbert but it was also a very tough day,” he said. “Philippe is someone I look up to. He’s a hero of mine. He’s the current world champion. To be part of a breakaway with him was great.

“We had a very small chance of making it to the finish but racing is sometimes unpredictable, so you can only try. Hopefully a few people will have taken note of what I did today and today’s breakaway is something for the future.”

Once they were hauled back, the Lotto Belisol team rode perfectly to ensure Greipel was delivered to the line in the best possible position. He blasted clear in the final 200 metres and nabbed another win, setting that new record in the process.

Tomorrow’s fifth leg is considered the Queen stage of the race, and will be crucial for the overall classification. Thomas is just five seconds clear of Slagter and will have to be both vigilant and strong over the 151.5 kilometre stage from McLaren Vale.
