The first UCI World Tour event of the season ends tomorrow morning
with The Tour Down Under’s final stage into Adelaide being little more than a
procession for Tom Jelte Slagter, who took the spoils with a fantastic burst as
all but him and Simon Gerrans totally burst on the second ascent of Old
Willunga Hill. Geraint Thomas sadly couldn’t take it for Britain, but that may
have been a lack of conditioning more than anything and he’s still a rider of
immense potential for not only the big classics, but also Grand Tours of the
future with more improvement – he said that he was only here to ‘burn his track
fat’ beforehand.
As for today’s stage, Gripel winning his 14th
stage here looks to be a foregone conclusion here and at a best priced 9/20 he’s
no value, and with the each/way terms being either for the first two places, or
1.5 the odds at reduced prices, the best value looks to be in the match
sprints. FDJ’s Arnaud Demare was second to Greipel on Stage 2 and while he was a
lacklustre 9th on Stage 4, he’s beaten Marcel Kittle on 4 of the 5
stages here. Kittel has struggled to gain his best form since suffering health
problems ast year and shouldn’t be as short as 3/5 to win this match.
