I heard this New Jersey expression the other day. Going down the shore is what I would call going to the beach. It seemed like the perfect title for this group turning the corner to run along the coast on their way to Snapper Point. With an almost sure bet that today would be about the climbers, it didn't stop these seven from going on the offensive from the very start of the stage. The only one with a chance of winning on the day was Danny Van Poppel (Jumbo-Visma). He is wearing the blue sprinter's points jersey on load from the race leader but if he takes the sprint points on offer he would still need to score points atop Willunga Hill. Joining the Dutchman are Jasha Sutterlin (Movistar), Nick White (UniSA-Australia), Gediminas Bagdonas (Ag2r La Mondiale) among others.
