Stage 5 - November 7: Tuatapere - Winton, 88.3 km
Vennell gets his victory
By Nathan Burdon, The Southland Times
|
New tour leader Hayden Roulston (Trek Zookeepers Cafe) holds a 29 second advantage over Marc Ryan (Colour Plus) and is now the rider to beat at the midway point of the Tour of Southland. Roulston was third in each of today's two stages, a 101 km ride from Invercargill along the exposed southern coastline to Tuatapere and an equally windy 88km ride from Tuatapere back to Winton.
Ryan now presents the biggest challenge to the Trek Zookeepers rider defending the title he won last year, with Roulston's team mate Gordon McCauley in third place 1min 24sec back.
Overnight leader Reon Park (Colour Plus) has dropped back to sixth place, nearly three minutes in arrears
How it unfolded
|
The afternoon stage saw an early break from 10 riders including Subway rider Jeremy Yates. Yates took an aggressive attitude towards the hill climbs and ended the day with the King of the Mountain jersey, but the pre-race favourite is placed 37th overall.
The breakaway got out to nearly 1.30 minutes before the peloton eventually reeled it back in with 20 kilometres to go. From that point a strong split of nine riders including Roulston and McCauley, Park and Ryan, Under 23 leader Clinton Avery (Ascot Park Hotel) and Jeremy Vennell (Bissell Pro Cycling Team) made a break for the finish.
Vennell went on to take the stage, a welcome victory after the dramatics involving Glen Rewi (Creation Signs) in the stage finish on Tuesday, with Ryan second and Roulston third.
