Daryl Impey wins Tour Down Under, final stage to Andre Greipel
Mitchelton-Scott rider Daryl Impey has won the Tour Down Under to take the biggest victory of his career. The final stage, a 90 kilometre circuit race in Adelaide, was won by Lottoi-Soudal's Andre é Greipel.
Impey finished the race on the same time as defending champion Richie Porte of BMC Racing, winner of Saturday's queen stage to Willunga Hill.
Impey, aged 33, was in the leaser's ochre jersey overnight due to having lower aggregate stage placings during the race, and the nature of today['s stage meant that his victory was more or less assured barring a crash or illness.
His team missed out on a double celebration, however, as Greipel beat Mitchelton-Scott's Caleb Ewan to the line.

Thanks. I guess the question is "need". If the road is busy, it sounds like it is a desired route between places? In which case (given this an...
Don't know what you mean. I thought my suggestion was entirely practical.
I'd buy a motorbike fo rthat kind of money!
