Australia’s Simon Gerrans conquered the notorious Corkscrew climb to win Thursday’s third stage of the Tour Down Under and take the overall lead in a race he has won a record three times. Gerrans was able to pass riders on the inding descent and ”drag-raced” compatriot Rohan Dennis to the finish line. ”That was super-tough going up the Corkscrew,” Gerrans said.
