January 21/18 10:35 am - Tour Down Under: Stage 6 and Final GC

Daryl Impey is the new king of Adelaide after taking the Santos Ochre Winner’s Jersey on the city’s streets on Sunday afternoon, while the Be Safe Be Seen MAC Stage 6 was won by André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) over Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-SCOTT) and Peter Sagan (BORA-hansgrohe).

It is the first time a South African has claimed the winner's ochre in the race, and along with neo-pro countryman Nic Dlamini (Team Dimension Data) took the Subaru King of the Mountain winner's jersey following his domination of that classification earlier in this week.

The result is noteworthy for Impey's Mitchelton-SCOTT team as well, given it came to Adelaide seeking stage wins for lead rider Caleb Ewan - not the general classification.

It also means Mitchelton-SCOTT (the current guise of the GreenEDGE operation) draws level with AG2R La Mondiale with four GC wins at the race.

Impey now leads the UCI WorldTour points table - taking 100 points from the event ahead of Richie Porte (BMC) and Tom Jelte-Slagter (Team Dimension Data).

Speaking after the race, Impey dedicated his thrilling victory to his family back in South Africa, but admitted it was a nervous day in the saddle.

"Coming in ... I didn't expect to win the race, but sometimes the stars line up and things go according to plan," Impey said.

"I worked real hard in the off-season, [I'm] so happy to get this win.

"[But] it was pretty hectic... I've been in this position before with Simon [Gerrans] trying to defend the jersey for him.

"I've prepared for that. But it's definitely more nerve-wracking when you have the jersey yourself.

"I'm stoked to get to the line, and obviously with the team I knew it was under control."

For Greipel, the victory extended his stage wins record to 18 at the Santos Tour Down Under.

His Stage 6 win was just the second time this year that a rider had claimed multiple stages (Greipel won Stage 1 in Lyndoch as well).

The peloton was truly out of formation as it swung down Pennington Terrace and onto the final uphill sprint to the line on King William Road.

Quick-Step emerged as the best positioned team on the run to the line, with Elia Viviani gunning for his second victory.

Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-SCOTT) drew level with the Italian, but Greipel came from six deep with his incredible turn of speed to take victory.

2018 marks the first time since 2013 that an Australian has failed to win a classification in the Santos Tour Down Under, highlighting the truly international spirit of the event.

Aside from South Africans Impey and Dlamini winning the Santos Ochre Winner's Jersey and Subaru KOM respectively, triple UCI World Road Champion Peter Sagan won the southaustralia.com sprinter's jersey, and neopro climber Egan Bernal (Sky) claimed the #seesouthaustralia Young Rider's classification.

Bahrain-Merida was crowned the Wilson Parking Winning Team for having the best cumulative time across its line-up.
