Julian Dean (Garmin - Transitions) had his moment to shine on stage four of the Santos Tour Down Under when he placed sixth against the dominant German Andrei Greipel who hauled in his third stage victory for this years event.

Dean who has had a longer than usual break from the bike recently off the back of his most arduous season to date looks to have found his race legs again sprinting against the majority of the worlds fastest men.

In form Kiwi Greg Henderson backed up his performances with 13th on the stage and Hayden Roulston after setting the stage up for his HTC Columbia team mate Greipel came home 58th.
