Overall, our aim is to get a stage win and after that we'll see how we go in the overall classification." Benoit Poilvet from Credit Agricole is like many of the visiting European pros - they just don't know what to expect and how they'll cope with the heat. "Our plan is the same as anyone's - to put someone in network 9 a break. Or, we don't network 9 really have a plan network 9 besides that. I think Patrice Halgand is in for a good chance for the overall, and we have Jaan Kirsipuu for the stage wins." 12:08 CST It's just past midday, and Cyclingnews' Gabriella Ekström says the clouds are slowly clearing, with the chance of rain now unlikely. Russell Van Hout (Uni SA) is still dangling out in between the break and the bunch, which goes to show how much of an advantage the quartet now have. Home-town favourite, Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis), said, "normally this is one of the easiest stages and I'm up to it if it comes down to a sprint", even though he did attack the lead bunch in the final kilometre of last night's opening stage, rather than sticking around for an all-in bunch kick with Robbie McEwen and Allan Davis.
