Stage 10 - October 20 - Shepparton Circuit race, 80 kmsPozzi and Iacuone clean up, but jersey stays at HomeStage 10 of the VicHealth Herald Sun Tour was somewhat of a change to the previous days racing in that it was a circuit race, albeit a long one. The riders had to cover 32 laps of a 2.5 km course around the centre of town, giving the criterium specialists something to go for. There were several early breaks, though none were successful until Italian Alessandro Pozzi (Caravello) and Aussie Alan Iacuone (City of Melbourne) escaped the clutches of the bunch. They held enough of a lead to take a total of 10 of the 15 sprint primes and time bonusses on offer, with Pozzi being the designated rider to take them all. Iacuone was content to remain in second place for each of them, and perhaps take the overall win. However, it was not to be and the escapees were swallowed up with 10 laps to go. Once again, it was Danish rider Nicolai Bo Larsen (Home Jack & Jones) who took the stage ahead of Ireland's Ciaran Power (Latrobe) and Kiwi Graeme Miller. Australian Peter Rogers also showed good form during the race, picking up some time bonusses towards the end which may help him improve his GC position. According to the Tour's press officer, Rob Gaylard, the big improver for the day was Ireland's Ciaran Power, who moved himself up from fourth to second overall by virtue of his stage placing. However, the strongest contenders for the overall title remain the Danes, Blaudzun and Bo Larsen and the Czechs, Konecny and Hruska. Canadian rider Eric Wohlberg was fairly quiet during the stage and slipped down a position to fourth place. Tomorrow will be another testing stage as the riders have three category 3 climbs on their way from Nagambie to Lake Mountain (174 kms). Both the Czechs are noted climbers and will seek to dislodge Blaudzun from his number one spot. Blaudzun in turn will have to continue to get by with one less teammate, after Arvis Piziks crashed out of the tour earlier. There were more mishaps in the stage however, with Australian Peter Milostic (Echuca-Moama) damaging his hand in a fall and being taken to hospital for X-rays. Also involved the crash was Bendigo rider Brent McCaig (Transhepp), who managed to finish the stage despite suffering knee lacerations. Brendon Vesty (SEW Eurodrive-Avanti) was another casualty, withdrawing just after the start of the stage due to injuries he sustained to his knee in a fall on Tuesday.
