Stage two of Tour Down Under linked Gawler to Hahndorf over133 hilly kilometres.

Three rides attacked immediately and they increased the gap regularly. After 40 km the peloton was 10'30" behind them. And then, the reaction began, the three leaders being caught at 7 kilometres short of the finish, after a 120 kilometres escape.

It was a bunch sprint again, Andre Greipel (HTC-Columbia) grabbing is second win in a row, ahead of New Zealander Greg Henderson (Team Sky) and our Robbie, who finished very well 3rd.

Greipel is now leading with 14" on Henderson. Robbie is fourth, 16" down.
