Stage 1 - April 26: Sperlonga - Sperlonga, 137.9 km

Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 team manager

Today's stage was over 3 laps of a circuit with a cat 3 climb every lap. It turned out to be tougher than it looked as the climb was big and there were plenty of others. The field stayed pretty much together for the 1st 2 laps but broke up when the pace hotted up on the last lap. A group of 67 face the judge in the final sprint. This included Australians, Matt Goss, Simon Clarke and James Meadley. James crashed in the final kilometre but was not badly hurt. Simon was 5th and Matt was 9th. The stage was won by Frenchman, Benoit Sinner.

Sean Finning was unable to start because of his injuries yesterday but was allowed to leave hospital and will travel back to our base tomorrow.
