Andre Greipel (Lotto Belisol) wygrał kryterium w Adelajdzie, czyli ostatni etap Tour Down Under. Pokonał on na finiszu Marka Renshawa oraz Andrew Fenna (obaj Omega Pharma – Quick Step). Zwycięzcą generalki został Simon Gerrans (Orica – GreenEDGE).
Finałowy etap 16. edycji Tour Down Under to już tradycyjnie kryterium w Adelajdzie. Kolarze mieli do pokonania dystans 95 kilometrów, na który składało się 18. rund po niespełna pięć kilometrów. Szyki sprinterom próbowała pomieszać trójka śmiałków: William Clarke (Drapac Professional Cycling), Maxim Belkov (Katusha) i Julien Berard (Ag2r La Mondiale).
Trójka zgodnie współpracowała, ale kolarze Lotto – Belisol cały czas kontrolowali sytuację. Harcownicy zostali doścignięci na 16 rundzie. Ostatnie kilometry przebiegały na dobrym ustawianiu się sprinterów.
Po raz kolejny znakomitą pracę wykonali „przyboczni” Greipela. Najpierw Jens Debusschere, a później Jurgen Roelandts pięknie rozprowadzili Niemca. „Gorilla” niezagrożony przeciął jako pierwszy linię mety. Dwa kolejne miejsca dla zawodników Omegi: Marka Renshawa i Andre Fenna.
Podsumowując był to bardzo australijski wyścig, ponieważ w każdej z klasyfikacji zwyciężali przedstawiciele tej nacji. Po raz trzeci w karierze generalkę wygrał Simon Gerrans (Orica – GreenEDGE), który wygrał także klasyfikację punktową. Najlepszym góralem okazał się Adam Hansen (Lotto – Belisol), a młodzieżówka padła łupem Jacka Haiga (UniSA-Australia). Najlepszą drużyną okazała się Orica – GreenEDGE.
