Porte still optimistic over BMC's chances in Tour Down Under
If BMC Racing are going to rescue their overall ambitions at the Tour Down Under they will need to go all out on stage 5 which finishes atop Willunga Hill.
Simon Gerrans (Orica GreenEdge) holds a relatively comfortable 14 second lead over his next competitor Jay McCarthy (Tinkoff), with defending champion Rohan Dennis third, at 26 seconds. Richie Porte, Dennis’ teammate, and a former two-time winner at Willunga, acknowledged that after Gerrans’ second straight win on stage 4 the race was beginning to move away from BMC.

However the Australian climber added that his team would still compete for the top honours.
"We will see tomorrow what happens. Willunga isn’t the hardest climb in the world, so there won’t be massive gaps, but we’ll try. The race isn’t over yet. [Gerrans has] a comfortable lead, but we’re not going to give up."
