Impey was losing seven seconds to Patrick Bevin (CCC Team) prior to the final stage. Patrick Bevin, however, was unable to keep pace with the peloton, owing to his injuries from previous stages. The final day of the Australian Tour was claimed by Richie Porte. He won the stage set on Willunga Hill for the sixth time and managed to finish second overall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Such a special memory made yesterday.
