Reid takes over

Stage two saw plenty of action, with breakaways, busted bikes and broken bones. Hong Kong rider Ho Siu Lun crested the outward climb of the Rimutakas first and looked great. until the road started going down. Then his challenge ended at 70kph, when he overcooked a corner and smashed into a barrier.

The descent over, a lead group of 25 formed. Robin Reid broke away and just clung on for the win, to take the yellow jersey from Miller and stage one leader, Jenner.

Stage 2 - January 4: Wellington to Masterton, 120 km
