It is the last day of the Tour Down Under, and the course is a street circuit in Adelaide. The VeloDrone and Gym Ten are putting everything into it. They are riding at the head of the peloton.
The VeloDrone: This is more like it. Are you ready for the breakaway?
Gym Ten: Yes. It's much better with a helmet.
The VeloDrone: I told you it would be. Okay, lets go!

Meanwhile Marie and Angel are not too far behind. Angel has his eye on winning King of the Mountain, Adelaide's Montefiore Hill being rather small. Marie is encouraging him.
Marie: It's quite small.
Angel: Yes, but I have to do it twenty times.
Marie: So does everyone else.
Angel: You're a brick, Marie.
Marie: What did you call me?
Angel ( pulling away): Never mind!

The VeloDrone and Gym Ten have not been in front for long when the rest of the peloton catches up. Mattie Gosse, Cameron Meyer and Angel are all jostling for position. Angel is level with Gym Ten. Some vigorous elbowing begins.
The VeloDrone: Ouch! Get away!
Gym Ten: Head butt him!
The VeloDrone: I'm trying!
Angel: Ouch! Head butting is illegal. I'm reporting you!
Marie ( who has made a great effort and caught up ): This is reprehensible! Stop it at once!
Gym Ten: No! We're not going to.
Marie: Oh, yes you are.
She sticks out her foot.
Her team mates all tumble off their bicycles clearing the way for Cameron Meyer, who goes on to win.
Well done him.
