The final stage of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour produced a battle royal. It was a magnificent showdown with some of the world's best sprinters going shoulder to shoulder around the streets of Carlton. The tactical smorgasbord had the huge crowd roaring in excitement.

With the top three riders separated by one second and the fourth only six seconds back, the 80 minute stage produced an exciting finish. In a brutal encounter, more akin to a boxing duel than a bike race, overnight leader Chris Jongewaard and Simon Gerrans managed to avoid the crashes and produce the ultimate nail biting finale around the streets of Carlton, with Gerrans finally snatching his second straight tour title by a mere five seconds.

As they approached the final laps Gerrans and Jongewaard were locked together on exactly the same time and if both riders finished outside the time bonuses, Jongewaard would have won on a count back because his superior time trial. But it was Gerrans who followed teammate Robbie McEwen's wheel to snatch third in the stage and, more importantly, the crucial four bonus seconds and his second consecutive title.

Just metres from the line Gerrans glanced back to see Jongewaard two places behind and pumped both fists to the sky in unison with McEwen who was also celebrating his stage win.

"That was just fantastic," Gerrans said. "I wasn't thinking about winning back to back, I was just trying to win. The team rode a brilliant race, not just today but all week. But I've got to admit that I was worried as we approached the final laps. I was glad to see HealthNet get on the front leading out Menzies and Henderson for the stage. That took a bit of pressure off the boys who had done a stack of work."

"I gave it everything and the team did everything they could," an obviously disappointed Jongewaard said. "It really sucks to get so close and then get pipped on the post but the Jayco crew is so professional and Simon is a great champion."

Gerrans' Jayco Team Australia was on song from the gun and gave their man all the support that he needed to become the first back to back winner of Australia's oldest stage race in 32 years. (Not since Tasmanian Graham McVilly won in both 1973 and 1974 has a rider triumphed two years in a row.) And they needed to be. With the bonus seconds on offer from today's two intermediate sprints, as well as at the stage finish likely to determine the results on general classification, every move had the potential to be critical.

Controversy entered the race almost as quickly as the stage had begun with a number of riders in a thirteen rider early breakaway gesturing to the officials as they crossed the line from lap seven onwards. Little of that was coming from the Australian team, which had all of it remaining squad except for Tony Mann in the lead group. But some of those complaints seemed to be directed at the fact that McEwen, who had fallen, was allowed to resume the race with the leaders.

All of the drama reached a crescendo at the 25 minute mark, when the first of the sprints was contested. McEwen, playing an unfamiliar role for the team, led Gerrans out in an attempt to edge him into the overall lead. But chief commissar, "Nobby" Matsukura relegated McEwen for failing to maintain his line and causing interference to another rider, leaving overnight leader, Chris Jongewaard as the recipient of the three bonus seconds.

But with Gerrans picking up two and the other main contender for the Tour win, David McCann getting the remaining one, the contest remained a race director's dream and a team director's nightmare – Jongewaard by two over Gerrans, with McCann just a further second behind.

The big crowd lined up behind the barricades was spellbound by what was continuing to unfold before their very eyes. The 25 minutes between the sprints was only a fraction quieter than the opening stanza.

Stage three winner Trent Wilson and young star, Trent Lowe were the most prominent during the quieter periods although a power of work was also done by both David Kemp and David Tanner from the Australia Under 23 team. Navigator's Hilton Clarke's grasp on the green sprinters' jersey looked to be at risk when he crashed heavily just before the second sprint. He was ordered by the race commissaries to retire from the stage, with several cuts and lacerations the cause for concern. But when his nearest rival for the sprint crown, Germany's Tobias failed to figure in the points for sprint number two, the same race officials declared Clarke the winner of the sprint classification.

That second sprint provided almost as much drama as the first, not so much because Gerrans was able to get up for the win and to secure the three bonus seconds but because McEwen was able to throw his wheel into second place and deny Jongewaard what could have been a crucial extra second. The outcome left Gerrans and Jongewaard locked together on exactly the same time to the second - after six and half days, and more than 750 kilometres, of riding.

The dead-lock sent officials scrambling for the rule books to determine what would happen if that remained the case after the final sprint. They declared that Jongewaard would prevail as he had the better performance in Friday's individual time trial.

The task for Gerrans and his team mates was thus immediately clear – the defending champ had to finish in the top four and earn bonus time in the final sprint, as well as ensuring the Commonwealth Games mountain biker finished behind him. "We had Dave Sanders on race radio telling us the situation on the road. Our aim was to try and wrap it up before the finish line but to come down to the wire was amazing," Gerrans said.

With two laps to go the team plan was clear to all – with Gerrans slotted in behind the power provided by four riders from early Tour leader Karl Menzies' HealthNet squad and the guile and experience of his mate, McEwen. And it worked to perfection with McEwen dashing to the line ahead of HealthNet's Greg Henderson for the stage win but more importantly with a jubilant Gerrans, arms raised in third spot and in possession of those four precious bonus seconds.

The always smiling Gerrans when talking about his win was quick to apportion credit, "Robbie looked after me. He's such an awesome professional. He knew exactly what had to do. I couldn't have asked for anything more - although I wanted to take that first sprint. But it didn't work quite to plan. It put that little more pressure on us to take that second sprint."

McEwen, completed the acknowledgements, "The first intermediate sprint didn't go our way but we just kept battling on and took it second by second. The team just rode so well. What Simon and I did was just completing what they set us up for. They did a fantastic job."

The world's greatest cyclist, Eddy Merckx, was the special guest and awarded the Portfolio Partners sprint jersey. Merckx sat enthralled through the final stage, checking times and enjoying the battle. "It was a very exciting race and it is always exciting if a race can be decided in the final sprint," Merckx said. "Cycling must be very popular here. There is a big crowd, it is live on television and there is good coverage in the paper."

Three young riders – Lowe, Simon Clarke (South Australia.com) and Mitchell Docker (Drapac Porsche) battled all week for the white jersey awarded to the best under 23 rider on general classification, with Lowe finally triumphant over Clarke.

Their battle and the presence of all three in the top eleven places overall is an encouraging sign for Australian cycling, which can also look forward to the contribution that will undoubtedly be made in a big way by king of the mountains and stage five winner, Matt Lloyd who is just a year out of the young rider age group.
