American Michael Olheiser (Jackson Plumbing) outsprinted his four breakaway companions to win the penultimate stage from Te Anau to Winton. Teammates Glen Chadwick and Heath Blackgrove (Zookeepers - Cycle Surgery) finished second and third respectively.
Blackgrove held a meagre 11-second lead over Marc Ryan (Colourplus) heading into the stage, while Jack Bauer (Share The Road) held third place 1:06 behind Blackgrove. However, Ryan and his ColourPlus team missed the crucial break in the 79-kilometre stage.
With the leading group of five riders, including Olheiser, Blackgrove, Chadwick, Bauer under-23 leader Tom Findlay (Bici Vida) rushing along at an average speed of nearly 55kph, the tour aspirations of Ryan, known as "Dream", turned into a nightmare.
At stage's end, Blackgrove opened a generous buffer of more than a minute over Bauer and Findlay with only the final 65km stage from Winton to Invercargill to contest for overall victory.
