Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 coach
The fourth stage of the Thüringen Rundfahrt was a cold rainy affair with many crashes and mechanical problems. Our mechanic was kept busy changing brake pads for the second time in as many days. It was not a great day for us with Rory Sutherland not able to score any mountain points and losing his jersey by a point to German, Jochen Kass. Rory also crashed on the finish circuit with 6km remaining losing some time but otherwise OK.
The Vellutex pair of Gryschenko and Lagutin stole the show at the finish to gain an 11 second advantage over the final stages.
