 |
| Matthew Holmes (GBR / Team Lotto Soudal) dropped the six time consecutive winner of Willunga Hill to win the final strage by 3s: “I don’t know. I've never really raced up a climb. I've been stuck in Britain for the last six years, which is not a bad thing. This is my second hilltop finish this week, and it seems to suit me. This will give the team a lot of confidence in me. Up to now I felt they didn’t know me very well. I am the new person in the team and they gave me the first easy job in the stages. From now on, maybe I can ask sometimes to ride for me in some stages.” | share this photo |

| "To win the race again is a fantastic feeling," said Porte. "It was a hard day for our team; there were times when I thought maybe the GC was over and done with because it was a big group up the road. But credit to the guys, almost single-handedly, they brought that all back. "You know people are quick to single out Mads Pedersen because he's the World Champion here helping me, but every one of my teammates has been incredible; they all played their part in today." | share this photo |
