Ale Cipollini's Chloe Hosking won the southaustralia.com Stage 4 battle, but it was Amanda Spratt who won the war of the 2019 Santos Women's Tour Down Under – securing her third successive crown with a clean finish in Adelaide's East End on Sunday.
The Mitchelton-SCOTT rider's love affair with Australia's highest UCI female classification stage race continued – as many tipped to – with her anticipated kick halfway up Mengler Hill on Friday cementing her insurmountable lead.
By the time the peloton had run though the Adelaide Hills on Saturday, her lead was still comfortably intact, meaning Sunday's race was a simple matter of not falling foul of the bitumen circuit.
The street circuit finish meant a sprinters' party, with Hosking (Ale Cipollini) claiming another win in the East End, ahead of Stage 1 winner Letizia Paternoster (Trek-Segafredo) and Rachele Barbieri (BePink). Canada's Alison Jackson (Team Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank) finished 5th in the same time as the winner.
Mitchelton-SCOTT's fairy-tale four days was capped by the securing of a fourth consecutive general classification (three for Spratt and the first for Katrin Garfoot in 2016), a fourth team classification, second place (to Lucy Kennedy) and the Ziptrak® Points Classification, which was won by Sarah Roy.
With the GC a fait accompli coming into the race, it was a battle for the minor placings that would animate the race.
Roy's defence of the sprint classification took some hard work, with Hosking always set to threaten stealing maximum points at the intermediate sprints.
However, Roy salvaged points over her fellow Australian and TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank rival Alison Jackson to eventually claim fourth in the race and cement the classification victory.
Rachel Neylan (UniSA-Australia) managed to beat her time-locked rival Krista Doebel-Hickock (Rally-UHC) heading into the final stage to take a one-second time bonus and secure third in the Santos General Classification behind Spratt and Kennedy. Jackson finished 5th in the final overall.
