49th Herald Sun Tour - 2.4Australia, October 5-15, 2000Main page Results John Lieswyn's Diary Stage 1 - October 5: Melbourne, Crterium, 31.5 kmVogels takes opening criterium
By John Doggett-Williams, cyclingnews.com correspondent Australian Henk Vogels (Jayco) won the opening stage of the Herald Sun Tour, after attacking with Canadian Eric Wohlberg (Australia Post) at the halfway point. The two established a 24 second lead by the finish, and with the various time bonuses they collected along the way, Vogels now leads Wohlberg by 5 seconds, with the rest of the pack by at least 49 seconds. The first stage was a 31.5 kilometre criterium in Melbourne's Little Londsdale St, formerly the gangster precinct of Melbourne at the turn of the century. The race was just 30 laps of a tight circuit, and got away to a steady start. However, after 15 laps, Henk Vogels launched a powerful attack with Eric Wohlberg, and the two quickly established a 30 second lead. In just one lap (12 to go), they took 13 seconds out of the pack, and maintained a sizeable advantage by the finish. With two laps to go, Wohlberg tried to drop Vogels, but was unsuccessful, and the Australian pipped him in the final sprint. "I didn't do anything for the first 15 laps - I was just biding my time in the pack. And then I went 'Bang!'," said Vogels afterwards. "With two laps to go, Wohlberg took off, and when he took two lengths out of me, I thought I'd better pull my finger out." Vogels' Jayco teammates, Baden Cooke and Michael Sayers took the bunch sprint for 3rd and 4th respectively. The 11 day race continues tomorrow with another 30 km criterium in Frankston, followed by a 107 km road stage from Frankston to Wonthaggi in the afternoon. A note on teams: 80 riders are in the race (16 teams of 5), with 42 overseas riders. Although some have official UCI trade teams e.g. Jayco = Mercury, City of Melbourne = Gerolsteiner, the riders all ride under special sponsors for this race.
