Robert John McCarthy (sub-23 del equipo australiano) sorprendió a los velocistas en la calurosa 3ª etapa del Herald Sun Tour, sobre 156 kilometros, entre las Bodegas Mitchelton y Nagambie, batiendo a Rico Rogers (OCBC) y Felix English (Rapha Condor). Simon Clarke (Orica) mantiene el liderato sin dificultades.
Una caída antes del segundo sprint intermedio derribó a Steele von Hoff (Garmin) y a Alberto Bettiol mientras que Matt Goss tuvo un problema con su cadena en los 200 metros finales y fue incapaz de detener al joven McCarthy de origen irlandés para obtener la victoria más importante de su carrera. Un ciclista a la sombra de Caleb Ewan, pero que demostró su potencial en la velocidad punta.
La fuga del día estuvo formada por Chris Jory (KordaMentha), Hugh Carth (Rapha Condor JTL), Davide Frattini (UnitedHealthcare), Nathan Elliot (African Wildlife Safaris), John Anderson (Drapac), Sam Spokes (Jayco U23 Australia), Thomas Hamilton (Jayco U23 Australia), Elchin Asadov (Sinergy Bakú) y Kristian Juel (Budgetforklifts), que obtuvieron más de tres minutos de ventaja. Orica-GreenEdge, Garmin y Cannondale fueron los encargados de anularla.
