Lance Armstrong played a card, but the powerful HTC Columbia holds some impressive aces ahead of the Tour Down Under's decisive stage.
HTC's German sprint ace Andre Greipel won his third stage out of four as the team worked superbly in the 149.5km race from the Adelaide suburb of Norwood to the south-eastern coastal town of Goolwa.
Greipel continues to hold the overall lead ahead of the Tour's "Queen'' stage at Willunga, which features two climbs of the tough Willunga Hill.

If the German falters on Saturday in the second-last stage, Australia team-mate Michael Rogers is only 30 seconds behind on the general classification and the climbing specialist is clearly in good form. MORE
