Jonas Aaen sluttede på podiet i Australien

Femte og sidste etape af Herald Sun Tour var et kriterium på 61.5 kilometer inde i Melbourne. Mens der ikke var den store spænding om første og andenpladsen i det australske etapeløb, så var der tre ryttere som kæmpede om tredjepladsen i løbet. Jonas Aaen (Saxo Bank-SunGard) havde tredjepladsen før etapen, men Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg (MTN-Qhubeka) og Jens Debusschere (Omega Pharma-Lotto) var kun henholdsvis fire og fem sekunder efter danskeren.

Som forventet endte etapen i en massespurt, og ikke overraskende var det Marcel Kittel (Skil-Shimano), som endnu engang viste sit store talent, da han tog sin anden etapesejr i løbet. Anthony Giacoppo (Genesys Wealth Advisers) blev nummer to, mens Jens Debusschere blev nummer tre.

Der var to indlagte spurter undervejs, hvor Janse Van Rensburg, Aaen og Debusschere alle spurtede med for at hente bonussekunder. Heldigvis lykkedes det for Saxo Bank-SunGard rytteren at holde tredjepladsen i klassementet med blot et enkelt sekund ned til Janse Van Rensburg.
