The 24-year-old Rüegg convincingly turned the tide in her favor in the third and final stage. She won the 126-kilometre stage from Norwood to Campbelltown ahead of Mavi Garcia and also won the overall standings with an eleven-second lead over the Spaniard.

After two stages, the seventh-placed rider at the Olympic Games road race in Paris the year before last was in third place.
