Michael Woods (EF-Education First) has said the Tour Down Under is now Patrick Bevin's to lose, after he and other climbers failed to put time into the overall race leader and 2018 champion Daryl Impey on stage 4.
Daryl Impey (Mitchelton-Scott) won stage 4 of the Tour Down Under after a select group of chasers swept up an attack by Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo), Michael Woods (EF Education First), George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma) and Wout Poels (Team Sky) on the Corkscrew climb.

Daryl Impey and his Mitchelton-Scott team know a thing or two when it comes to winning the Tour Down Under. Between them they've won five of the last eight editions of the race, so when they refuse to throw in the towel, it's probably for good reason.
Patrick Bevin (CCC Team) produced another assured performance on stage 4 of the Tour Down Under on Friday, finishing second to Daryl Impey (Mitchelton-Scott) and retaining his lead with just two days remaining in the race.
Dylan Van Baarle's first year at Team Sky could be split into two discernable halves. In the first months, the talented Dutch rider struggled with his new environment after a late switch from Slipstream Sports.
