Ventoso won the 132-kilometre stage from McLaren Vale to Willunga, while Australia's Cameron Meyer, who came in 13th on the stage and on the same time as the winner, retained the tour leader's jersey.
Meyer, of the American-based Garmin Cervelo team, holds an eight-second lead over compatriot Matthew Goss of U.S. team HTC-Highroad ahead of Sunday's 88-kilometre final stage in downtown Adelaide.
