C’est le coureur du team Sky Richie Porte qui remporte la 5 ème étape de ce Tour Down Under, longue de 151,5 km entre McLaren Vale et Willung Hill.
Mais on a assisté à un drôle de scénario dans cette 5 ème étape. En effet, Cadel Evans s’est retrouvé bien seul dans la dernière difficulté. Son équipe BMC, pourtant très forte ces dernières étapes, a complètement craqué sous d’incessantes attaques. Evans, isolé et très nerveux, a alors décidé de partir seul pour éviter toute attaque qui pourrait lui être fatale au général. Mais 4 coureurs vont se coller à sa roue avec Simon Gerrans, Ulissi, le Belge Robert Gesink et le Sud-Africain Daryl Impey.
A mi parcours dans l’ultime montée, Porte place une attaque, il part seul en laissant Evans sur place. il l’emporte avec 10 sec d’avance sur Ulissi et Gerrans
Au général, Gerrans est leader pour une petite seconde sur Cadel Evans.
