Tour Down Under 2014 Results stage 5 and GC

The stage had a tough final, with two climbs of Willunga Hill. Porte managed to escape on the second ascent, just 2 kilometers before the finish line. GC leader Evans desperately tried to catch up with him, but failed in doing so. Not only did he lose the stage, he also lost 4 seconds to Gerrans, who is now the new GC leader.

However, Evans is only 1 second behind and the gap to Diego Ulissi is 5 seconds. This year’s Tour Down Under is not decided yet!
