Eight times winner of the Southland tour and now a veteran, but Brian Fowler showed that he still knows his way around the roads of Southland when he won Stage three this morning, a 98km stage from Invercargill to Tuatapere.

Fowler was one of an early four-man break with Ryan Russell (Hamilton), Mathew Yates (Hastings) and the Swiss rider Phillip Schneider.

Only four kilometres from the finish Yates punctured and the others were caught by chasing group of Scott Guyton, Heath Blackgrove, John Leiswyn, Chris Horner and Lee Vertongen.

Fowler won the stage from Vertongen but the real winner was Guyton who takes over the Yellow Jersey, the second change in three stages.

" I'm pleased to take it over of course but there's still a long way to go. Now we'll be working on getting the other guys (Southland Times Team) up on GC," Guyton said.The Belgium based professional won the race in 1998.
