Markel Irizar King of the Australian mountains

The last stage of the Tour Down Under was a 90 kilometres criterium on a small circuit in Adelaide. Of course this wasn't the parcours to expect big escapes, but Markel Irizar managed to stay in front for a while, taking some more points for the King of the Mountains jersey. Yesterday Andoni Lafuente was still the leader in this classification but at the end it was Markel who could show off the jersey. In the final sprint Iñaki took another top20 spot with an ok 17th place.
