Race report
In the fifth of twenty laps in Adelaide seven riders go clear, yet Owen, Korsaeth and Didier remain out front. That is, they are caught in lap nine before Owen gives it another go with Ben O'Connor.

In the ensuing sprint Ewan takes off, but with Greipel on his wheel. The German takes the win, as he did on day one.
