Stage 9 was the first of a double-header day, with Stage 10 the 96.5 km Maryborough - Daylesford leg to be held in the afternoon.
"This stage went really well for us," said Scott Sunderland. "With Kurt (Kurt-Asle Arvesen, Sunderlands Malaysia Airlines teammate) and I in the break, we were able to control things a bit," Sunderland told Cyclingnews.
The twelve man break was maintained for most of the 77 km stage, with Arvesen making his move about 1 km from the finish. Sunderland was able to run decoy to the rest of the break, allowing Arvesen to take the win. Pole Kazimierz Stafiej (Echuca-Moama) came in second with Italian Alessandro Pozzi (Active for Life).
Austrian Peter Wrolich (Ballarat*eureka!) remains the overall leader.
