Grenda gives Genesys early lead

Ben Grenda (Genesys Wealth Advisers) claimed the Tour of Toowoomba lead, after a long sprint from a lead group of six riders. Windy conditions throughout the 117 kilometre stage allowed the breakaway to keep a small margin over the peloton to the finish line in Pittsworth.

The 20-year-old rider’s sprint was by no means a short effort, with the finish line in Pittsworth at the end of a long, flat, straight road. Grenda claimed the stage victory over local rider Bevan Mason (FKG Toowoomba Team), while Alastair Loutit (McDonagh Blake Witness) took third place.
