Sharing the land with the creature that survived evolution only because man wanted it to

Tour Down Under day 3.

Mount Lofty, 757m, good training ground if you do it three or four times

Forecast: dry, sunny, hot, 40C, but soaked on the descend of Mt Lofty;

On the attack: Bobridge, Clarke, Kroon, Paterski and yes Voigt!

The peleton suffering in 37 degrees (in the shade)

Reduced to 3 Aussies, with Clarke and a suffering Bobridge;

Valverde, Rogers and Evans in the mix, but Cardoso takes it. Brutal, brutal sprint uphill.

Voigt, alone, paying the price for his work in the break away in these unhealthy conditions, as Greipel put it rightly
