Yesterday I headed down to Lygon Street to watch the final stage of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour-2009 and catch a glimpse of Bradley Wiggins (Garmin-Slipstream). Wiggins started the stage in yellow, and had team-mates in second and fourth. The question wasn't so much would a Garmin rider win but which one.
The final stage was a 4.1km Circuit Race - not a Criterium. From my position on the exit of the last hotdog turn of the course, Garmin appeared to control the front of the peleton. On only two or three laps were they beaten into the corner, and even then it was only by one or two riders.
Wiggins finished ninth on the day, which was good enough for him to seal his first multi-stage race win. In addition to the GC, Garmin won the KOM and Teams classification.
