Wilson wins first big one
Praise all around for one of best Sun Tours ever
By John Trevorrow in Melbourne
|
One of the nice guys finally came first. Aussie Matt Wilson (Unibet), so often the worker, stepped up and produced the ride of his life to hang on to his three-second advantage over Swiss Steve Morabito and win his first Jayco Herald Sun Tour.
Queenslander Aaron Kemps (Astana) bookended the event, sprinting away from his two breakaway opponents, American Scott Zwizanski and Dutchman Camiel Denis. Kemps also won the pre tour criterium in Bendigo as well as the third stage into Beechworth.
Although Wilson was obviously excited, that was nothing compared to his mum Lesley who was crying tears of joy and shaking with emotion when her son crossed the line. "This is just beautiful and it couldn't happen to a nicer young man," a proud Mrs Wilson said.
"This is just unbelievable," an overjoyed Matt Wilson said. "It has been a tough road over the past couple of years and I knew I had to produce a good ride this week," Wilson added.
It has been an amazing transformation for the 30 year-old who is based in Monte Carlo. "I can't describe how important this is for me and I will have to just sit down later and take it all in. I do have to say how impressed I am with my Unibet team. They have been just awesome and have controlled this race. Not bad for just three guys.
"This is my best ever win and it has attracted some attention from interested teams." Wilson produced his most impressive performances up the slopes of Falls Creek and in the penultimate time trial. "I have shocked myself a few times in this race and I am starting to believe in myself a lot more. Baden has always said I could win a lot bigger races and now I'm starting to believe it too," Wilson said.
Although the setting for the finale was sensational with a large crowd and a great atmosphere, the stage itself was the least exciting of the tour. The break going early meant that the main protagonists could not contest the time bonus sprints which worked perfectly for Wilson.
Obviously Lowe had accepted the fact that he could not win the tour and was content on covering the Dutchman Joost Van Leijen, only nine seconds behind him, and Steve Morabito knew that he could not beat Wilson in the sprint finishes and was going to leave it for a last gasp attack.

Probably the most exciting moment was when Stuart O'Grady broke his chain attacking out of a corner. He surged forward over the handlebars riding about 10 metres balancing on the front wheel. "It has never happened to me before in my entire career," a shocked O'Grady said. I had just done one lap full gas on the front when my chain started jumping. As I accelerated out of the corner and the chain just snapped and suddenly I was thrown forward and dearly catapulted over the bars. I thought I was a gonna," O'Grady said.
O'Grady was then asked what he thought of this year's Sun Tour. "It was really, really good. The racing was sensational and it was good to be able to be up the pointy end of the race for most of the week. It was a great team with a wonderful team spirit and I thought we gave it a bit of a shake. Young Trent (Lowe) is going to be a serious threat in the big races in the not too distant future. He is very competent in all facets of the sport," O'Grady said. "This tour has stepped up about ten fold since I last rode about ten years ago. Everything about the organisation was first class."
Fellow team-mate Trent Wilson was equally impressed with Lowe. "I certainly didn't know that he could time trial as well as that. He has the complete package and should go a long way."
Dutchman Joost Van Leijen, who lost the lead on Friday after being penalised 20 seconds for motorpacing behind his team car, was philosophical about the result. "It was a nice race, but of course I am disappointed to lose the race because of a penalty," Van Leijen said. "Fourth place is good but the only place that really counts is first. But I am only a young rider and hopefully I can get a bigger contract from this. I have had a tough season with bad luck and illness, but at least I know now that I can race against the big pro riders."
Wilson's best mate Baden Cooke was the happiest man in Melbourne after the finish. "I can tell you that if you had given me the choice before the start, of either Matty or I winning this Tour, I would have said Matty without a moment of hesitation. Matty has helped me over many years and given up his own chances, to help me in big events.
"We have been mates since we were quite young but we got really to be close when we raced together in Italy on the AIS [team]. Then we both had our problems with me having a year out with tendon problems and Matty having a much more serious battle with cancer.

"I then got a contract in the states with Mercury and as soon as Matty came good he joined me on the team. We have been racing together ever since and I can't believe it's about to stop. Our Unibet team is finishing and I have a deal with Barloworld and as yet there isn't a place for Matty. I think we'll just have to try and change that."
Race Director Michael Hands was beaming after the successful finish. "I have been rapt with the racing all week," Hands said. "The riders should be congratulated as they have ridden brilliantly all week," Hands added. "It is also important that we have laid the foundation to reclaim our place in the Victorian sporting calendar. Not just the cycling Calendar but the Victorian Major Events calendar.
"I can see lots of areas where we can improve and to take this wonderful Victorian icon to another level. I have a great bunch of people working with me who are all passionate about this exciting challenge," said Hands.
Tasmanian Bernie Sulzberger (DFl Cyclingnews) was excited to win the KOM title. "It was a good race for us and the team rode very well. I'm rapt," he said.
Simon Clarke dominated the white jersey competition for the leading young rider. "I have gone close for the past three years," Clarke said. "I didn't have great form in this race but I am still eligible next year and I aim to try and win the white again and the yellow," a smiling Clarke said.
Olympic Gold Medallist Brett Aitken looked tired but content after the finish. "It was the best tour I've ridden, " Aitken said. "Both as a race, and an event. Little things like walking straight into our hotels without hassles, and everything being organised well. It is a shame that I'm coming into my best form and I'm running out of races this year," he added.
Geelong's Craig McCartney (Savings & Loans) looked pleased to cross the finish line. "It has been a fast and tough tour. I have been a bit crook and had some allergies but overall I'm happy with my ride. There is no doubt that the Tour has improved quite a bit over the past few years," McCartney said.
