"I want to give 100 percent and see if it works out. I don't want to do something I don't love for the rest of my life, and I don't want to have regrets." I want to give it my all and see if it gets me somewhere. If not, well, I've tried."

Berwick came into the fourth stage from Mansfield to Mount Buller in third place overall. He was six seconds behind race leader Hindley, but only two seconds behind second-place Damien Howson (Mitchelton-Scott).

"Right after I finished school I went to Europe for a year with the AG2R development team. So I've always been into cycling." [and joining St. George last year was the best decision I ever made for myself. It's a great atmosphere. Everyone is very positive and I'm really happy to get the results they deserve.

"I told the guys at the end of last year. I told them at the end of last year that if they would give me some rest, I would come back for the first half of the season and bring them some good results. And I'm happy to give back to the team for all the work they put into me."

"It's going to be a big night tonight and a good night tomorrow night," he laughed, predicting a well-deserved celebration in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon after the fifth and final stage around the Royal Botanic Gardens.
