Tour Down Under - Stage 6, Final stage 2009

Queensland's Allan Davis (Quickstep) was crowned champion of the 2009 Tour Down Under in South Australia, and leader of the UCI ProTour after winning three of the event's six stages.

Stage 6 was 81 kilometre (18 laps of the Adelaide city circuit).

It was effectively a victory procession for Davis and 144,000 fans - the highest ever one day crowd for an Australian sporting event - who turned out to congratulate him.

Davis was protected by his Quickstep team mates throughout the stage and crossed the line with the main field in 33rd place to secure his victory in a total race time of 19hrs26min59sec.

He finished 25 seconds clear of South Australian Stuart O'Grady (Saxo Bank) and 30 seconds ahead of Spaniard Jose Rojas (Caisse d'Epargne) who was awarded third place on a countback with 2007 winner, Switzerland's Martin Elmiger (AG2R-Mondiale) with both at 30 seconds off the winner's time.
