Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 coach

Stage 5 looked to be another tough one and it ended up being the decider. The Italians went on the attack but couldn't crack the leader although they did manage to hurt Peter Dawson who faltered on the final climb. Ashley Humbert stayed with him and tried to limit his losses but he ended up dropping to 8th overall.
