In the Tour Down Under, The climbing results today had no impact on the race for the Subaru King of the Mountain jersey that began the day on the shoulders of Jack Bobridge (UniSA-Australia) and went home with him as well. His final tally of 36 points was two ahead of Rohan Dennis with Richie Porte well back in third on the climber’s classification with 22 points.

“I didn't crash but I was caught behind the crash,” said Bobridge after the stage. “It's just bad because I wanted to help Steele von Hoff in the final sprint. 

“But the whole week has been fantastic and I couldn't ask for much more,” said Bobridge who on top of his Subaru KOM win also won the opening stage and wore the leader’s jersey for two days.
