Tour Down Under 2013 - Stage 6


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.
