A kangaroo hopped into the peloton causing injuries to some riders
Australian Jay Vine won the Tour Down Under - despite being knocked off his bike in a crash caused by a kangaroo.
Britain's Matthew Brennan took the fifth and final stage of the race in Australia, on a day dominated by drama in the peloton.
The kangaroo ran across the road with under 100km of the race to go and launched itself into the peloton, knocking several riders to the ground before tumbling into more who were trying to avoid it.
Vine, having been knocked down, used a team-mate's bike to claim the overall winner's ochre jersey by one minute three seconds for UAE Team Emirates-XRG.
