Bang! The teams rocket out of Tanunda.
Gaius is right behind Arthur.
Arthur wobbles.
Gaius speeds up and draws level.
You look a bit green, says Gaius.
Recovering, says Arthur.
From what? asks Gaius.
Gut ache, says Arthur.
Try cabbage, says Gaius.
Sam Welsford speeds by.
But he heard the word cabbage.
No one else has been mentioning cabbage.
Or have they? Perhaps he hasn't been listening.
Sam Welsford catches up with Sam Watson who is on the same team.
Heard anything abour cabbage? asks Sam Welsford.
No, says Sam Watson. Have you?
Only a rumour, says Sam Welsford.
David is cycling behind them.
He has heard everything they said.
He drops back to tell Vello that a rumour has started about cabbage.
Ha ha! laughs Vello. That will have been Gaius.
Gaius? says Denis. Why would Gaius start a rumour?
He wouldn't, says Vello. He was probably giving advice.
About cabbage? asks Denis.
At this moment, Tobias Lund Andresen passes by.
He has heard the word cabbage.
And Danes love their cabbage.
It inspires him to try super hard.
The race continues.
Three times up Mengler's Hill.
And three times down, to a crazy finish.
Sam Welsford, who won in Tanunda in the last two seasons is boxed in.
He finishes third.
Tobias Lund Andresen comes first, a credit to how much he was inspired by the cabbage.
And James Brennan, unaware of the cabbage rumour, comes second.
