Olheiser wins morning stage

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.
