Stage 8 - October 19 - Hamilton to Hall's Gap, 114.5 kmsThe sprinter is dropped!Australian sprinting star, Robbie McEwen gave up his leader's jersey today in the 8th stage of the Sun Tour, 115 kms between Hamilton and Halls' gap. The climbs, the Danes and the Czechs took their toll on the overnight leader and he lost over 4 minutes on the stage. USA rider Adam Sheibh (Tatterstalls) won the stage solo ahead of Cirian Power (Ire) and Christian Heule (Swi), who were part of a nine man group some 18 seconds behind. The group contained Home Jack & Jones rider Michael Blaudzun who took over the leader's jersey from McEwen, and now holds a 27 sec gap over Czech rider, Tomas Konecny. McEwen did manage to steal a one second bonus in the first mountain prime, but after that he cracked and finished 51st, 4.17 down on the winner. He will probably now concentrate on conserving energy and trying to win a few more stages.
