Von Hoff takes third stage victory in Lake Boga
By Cycling News published
Kersten and Grenfell edged as Shaw retains narrow lead
Steele Von Hoff (Genesys Wealth Advisers) took his third win on stage 8 of the Tour of the Murray River, proving too quick for Ben Kersten (Swan Hill Heart of the Murray) and Phillip Grenfell (BikeBug.com) in the sprint finish at Lake Boga.
Teammate Patrick Shaw (Genesys Wealth Advisers) remains in the overall lead, however his lead at the top has been shaved considerably, with Von Hoff closing to within 15 seconds of the Tour of Toowoomba winner.
How it unfolded
Stage 8 saw the peloton navigate an 80.7km stage between Swan Hill and Lake Boga. The day began with ten laps of a criterium course before the field hit the open road.
An attack involving Johnnie Walker (V Australia) and Glen O'Shea (SASI) opened the hostilities, however they were brought back before the day's opening sprint prime. Drapac's Stuart Shaw was active throughout the day and managed to get in the day's main break which formed after nearly 40km of racing.
Shaw was joined by Anthony Giacoppo (Genesys Wealth Advisers), Glenn O'Shea and two other riders with the quintet building an advantage of more than a minute of the main field. The two major teams to have missed the break, V Australia and Plan B Racing, lead a determined chase for the next 20 kilometres, and again the bunch regrouped.
Adam Phelan won the day's final prime to close the gap to Patrick Shaw in the overall before the bunch wound up for the sprint finish in Lake Boga. Once again it was V Australia and Genesys who were all over the front, but this time Steele Von Hoff managed to come out on top. Von Hoff has now won three of the four open road stages of the Tour of the Murray River.
