Queenslander Jonathan Cantwell clung to the barest of leads in the Elgas Tour of the Murray River after a determined challenge from David Tanner in stages 4 and 5 of the eight-day cycling classic today.

His impressive performance elevated him to the same overall time of 9 hours, 25 minutes, 52 seconds as Cantwell, but the speedy Queenslander was awarded the Elgas purple jersey because of his second placing behind the unheralded Charles Howlett in the Swan Hill-Lake Boga dash.

Cantwell, already a double stage winner in this tour, surrendered his overall lead to Tanner in the Swan Hill criterium and was 11 seconds in arrears when the 100-strong field set out for Lake Boga.

Cantwell, already a winner of 20 races this year in America and Australia, said his team "messed up" their strategies in the Swan Hill criterium and were fortunate to regain the leader's jersey after a mixed day.

Tanner, Melbourne Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sean Finning and New South Wales road champion Cameron Peterson dominated the criterium with a spirited break-away which saw them reach the finish line 20 seconds clear of the fourth-placed Cantwell.

"We didn't have a lot of firepower out there" Cantwell said. "I'm lucky to get the jersey back and now I want to hang on to it".

South Australian Matthew Benson became the fourth rider to be hospitalised during the tour after he crashed heavily at the 36km mark of the Swan Hill to Lake Boga stage.
