After the first climb, Fergus Browning (ARA Australian Cycling) erstwhile companion dropped back to the peloton leaving the Polka Dot Jersey off on his own. As he started up the Knott Hill climb he was joined by Geoffrey Bouchard (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale). Happily, for Browning, he went over the climb first unchallenged by the Frenchman. It is still mathematically possible for someone to take the jersey off of the young Australian, but it is beginning to seem highly unlikely.
