The morning's stage of the Tour of Southland, a 79 km ride from Te Anau to Lumsden, was a low key affair with three riders well down on general classification sharing the spoils.

Eric Wohlberg (Calder Stewart) Karl Moore (Rabobank) and South African Ryan Cox (Ascot Park) rode away right from the start and held a break of around one and a half minutes to the finish. Surprisingly the Canadian time trial specialist held out the others in the sprint, beating Moore by five metres with the South African third.

The stage made no difference to the general classification and John Lieswyn (Calder Stewart) still holds his 30 second lead over Scott Guyton (Southland Times) with one stage remaining.
