Santos Tour Down Under 2013

Stage 1: Prospect – Lobethal 135km

Andre Greipel подсигурява лидерството си с втори успех този път в първи етап от състезанието в Австралия. Амбициите на германеца за финална победа се преплетоха с тези на Arnaud Demare (FDJ) и Mark Renshaw от новия тим „Blanco“. Отборът на „Lotto Belisol“ за втори път си свърши работата във финалната права по страхотен начин, давайки на своя спринтьор възможно най-добрата позиция да покаже на какво е способен. А след финиша, възхищението си не скри и самият Renshaw.

В оставащите 10 км… Направи впечатление мощната работа на Sky, а до тях и на Movistar, които зададоха високо темпо в основната група.  Movistar разчитат на Jose Joaquin Rojas в този момент, който да се бори за финалния спринт.

Ag2r La Mondiale възлагаха надежди на Blel Kadri, но 6 км. преди финала той бе погълнат от водача на Sky Ian Stannard.
Малко преди финиша имаше лека височина, която се оказва непосилна и за Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) сред зададеното темпо на Sky и Lotto Belisol. Краят обаче бе лаконичен и Lotto Belisol извадиха своя коз Greipel, който спечели почти без усилие.

След този първи етап Andre Greipel оглавява генералното класиране. На второ място е Arnaud Demare, а трети го следва Mark Renshaw.
