The Tasmanian-based Genesys cycling contingent achieved one of its biggest important triumphs by eclipsing its overseas and interstate rivals in the spectacular Queenstown team time trial at the Caterpillar Underground Mining Tour of Tasmania today.
Piloted by the tenacious hill climbing specialist, Hobart's Nathan Earle, Genesys clocked 11:24 for the gruelling 4.8kms up the 99 twists and turns of the Mt Lyell Highway to win by 4 seconds over Virgin Blue RBS Morgans, with the powerful Drapac line-up a further seven seconds back in third place.
Held for the first time in a Tour of Tasmania, squads took off at two-minute intervals from the historic ABT railway station to contest the team time trial.
Official times were taken on the fourth rider over the line for each team, a saving grace for Genesys as Earle's aggressive performance saw Launceston's Ben Grenda dropped at the 3km mark, with the strong Dylan Newell also struggling.
Earle, 22, is shaping as the surprise contender of the 601km six-day tour, first held in 2005 in its current format.
His time trial effort moved him into fifth place overall on individual classification, 1:38 behind overnight leader, Albury's Rhys Pollock.
Earle has a clear advantage over Grenda in the prestigious Tas Gas leading Tasmanian rider award.

Earle is hoping to emulate Hadspen's Richie Porte who won the 2008 Tassie tour and is now a leading player on the international scene, winning a stage of this year's Giro d'Italia and currently running third in the Tour of Britain.
"It's very encouraging and inspirational to see what Richie is doing," said Earle who is in only his second season of serious professional road cycling.
"Like me, Richie started late. It just shows what you can achieve if you really want to and he's a good bloke, too.
"I think I am going to get better as this tour goes on. I like the hills and I'm looking forward to West Mooreville tomorrow and Gunns Plains on Monday."
Earle described the team time trial as a "terrific addition" to the Tassie tour's format, despite the zero temperature and 100km winds which greeted riders as they reached the Iron Blow open cut summit.
"It put a different spin on the tour and, as climbing is my specialty, it suited me real fine," he said.
