A blistering last two laps saw the main field almost haul in a long-standing break of five in this afternoon's criterium stage of the Trust House Women's Cycle Tour of New Zealand.

Almost, but not quite.

On the line the break still held an advantage of four seconds ­ down from 30 seconds with two laps to go. That saw an all-European podium with Susanne Ljungskog of Sweden besting Germans Trixi Worrack and Sarah Duster for the top three places.

The break had maintained a steady lead of 30-40 seconds, or half the winding circuit, since the mid-point of the hour-long race. Bearing in mind the speed at which the gap was shut down, there were obviously plenty of riders happy to let the five burn off steam - and contest the sprints.

Break rider Susie Wood, representing the Mizone New Zealand B team, collected enough points to jump into second spot in the final sprints classification. Fellow kiwi Melissa Holt wasn't in the break but won the classification anyway, having taken one point in the early laps of the race.

Thanks to the speed of the final laps, the morning's breakaways Nicole Freedman, Katie Brown and Miho Oki held onto their top three places on GC with virtually no change to their time buffer.
