The final stage.
Eight laps of a circuit from Stirling to Stirling.
Belle and Henriette are waiting in Stirling with Terence.
So are Sweezus and Arthur.
But why are Sweezus and Arthur not racing?
It's not FAIR, says Terence.
Yeah, it kind of is, says Sweezus.
It's very fair, says Belle. They rode up Willunga Hill yesterday and were disqualified.
But it was HARDER, says Terence.
Sure was, says Sweezus.
The peloton zooms by.
One or two riders give a thumbs up to Sweezus and Arthur.
Kudos, says Sweezus. At least we got that.
And a day off, says Belle.
And poetic inspiration, says Arthur.
Yeah, says Sweezus.
Team Philosophe cycles past.
Slackers! shouts Vello.
Don't tell me you've written a poem, says Belle.
Working on it, says Sweezus. Arthur is too.
How wonderful, says Henriette.
Sweezus looked pleased. Arthur less so.
But let's not just stand here.
What's happening up ahead?
Is Jay Vine still winning?
Because he has until now been winning.
OMG! A kangaroo, lurking in the bushes, has jumped out at the riders and caused an upset.
Jay Vine is down.
But he gets up again, and swaps bikes with his only remaining team mate.
And catches up with the riders the kangaroo had already let by.
The kangaroo has jumped back into the bushes.
Aiee!
Or whatever kangaroos say in such circumstances.
A second kangaroo hops up to it.
Calm down, bro.
Aiee! What happened there, bro?
It wasn't your fault. And guess what? You'll be on TV!
Aiee!
But enough of this story.
Does Jay Vine win or doesn't he?
He does.
