C’est l’Australien Richie Porte (SKY) qui remporte la 5ème étape du Santos Tour Down Under. Au sommet de Willunga, il devance le leader Rohan Dennis et l’Espagnol Ruben Fernandez.
Tout s’est joué
dans la montée finale. On retrouve un petit peloton emmené par un Geraint Thomas survolté qui impose un rythme élevé. Plusieurs coureurs perdent contact et c’est à ce moment là que Richie Port place son attaque à 1,5 km du finish. Cadel Evans plonge dans sa roue avec le leader Rohan Dennis juste derrière. Mais Porte veut cette étape et le général et repart à 500 mètres de l’arrivée. Il l’emporte devant Dennis qui a tout donné pour sauver sa tunique.
Au général, Dennis conserve son maillot pour 2 petites secondes sur Porte.
