Breakaways take the tour
By Mark Carter*
The final, decisive 148km 'Queen Stage' of the 2001 Canberra Tour was
raced today, in glorious sunshine of 18-20 degrees. The first break
of the day went after the first King of the Mountains prime, which had
six riders, including Klayten Smith, Denis Mungoven, Jono McCormack
and Ben Godbridge.
The group swapped off over the hilly terrain, establishing a lead of
over five minutes as its maximum advantage. The group stayed away over
Fitz's hill, around the turn at 74km covered and then back over Fitz's
hill. The leaders were eventually caught at the Corin Dam Road at 118km
covered. Catalyst rider Michael Tolhurst counter attacked and quickly
went away to a one minute advantage. Klayten Smith, Denis Mungoven,
Kristin Lewis and Glenn Stojanow went in pursuit of Tolhurst. Mungoven
was quickly unloaded and Smith and Lewis bridged across to Tolhurst
with 10km to go and went straight past.
The main field caught Tolhurst halfway up the final climb out of the
Cotter, but Tolhurst went straight through and out the back. In the
final two up sprint Kristin Lewis was too strong for Klayten Smith,
putting four to five bike lengths into him in the final metres, but
this was more than enough for Smith who picked up the 10 seconds bonus
for the second place and then had to agonise over the wait to see whether
the bunch would make it home in time.
The first yellow jersey of the tour, Kristjan Snorrason led the bunch
home, ahead of Paul Rowney, the yellow jersey holder after stage one,
with Nathan Russell in third. Overnight leader David Pell of Bendigo
also finished in this group of 13, however relinquished the overall
General Classification to Klayten Smith and finished second.

Women A grade: Stage
3 - May 13 - Duffy to Honeysuckle Creek and Return
Gollan pips Williams
in close finish
By Mark Carter
The women's A Grade race was not an overly aggressive race for the final
stage, given that only six seconds separated overnight leader Naomi
Williams from Olivia Gollan. On the first climb of the day up to Pierces
Creek at 13km covered, the bunch was strung out. Julie Hooper took the
QOM points from Gollan, which moved Gollan two seconds closer to Williams.
The bunch came back together after the climb and remained that way
for the most. The 'City Cycles' girls had a few attacks, but nothing
came to fruition and they were out of contention after yesterday anyway.
On the final climb from the Cotter at 10km to go the bunch was still
one unit, before Helen Kelly attacked and commenced proceedings, but
was reeled back in.
Williams attacked close to the top of the climb with less than 4km
remaining and Gollan bridged, leaving the top two on GC together at
the Stomlo turn with 2km to go, which meant the race woiuld come down
to a sprint, as the stage win would earn the 20 second bonus.
The pair played cat and mouse and as they rounded the final corner
and with 800m to go the bunch was right on their heels. A nasty crash
marred the finale, bringing down three riders from this bunch with 2km
to go, two had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. Gollan led into
the final straight and Williams kicked a long way out with more than
350m remaining on the gradual uphill sprint. Gollan grabbed her wheel
and managed to overtake with 50m to go to win with Natalie Bates in
third. The 20 second time bonus to Gollan and 10 seconds to Williams,
with the two second differential from the first climb, gave Gollan the
win by six seconds over Williams, with initial race leader Bates in
third.

Tour
comes together after car rally crashes original start
By Mark Carter
The 19th Canberra Tour came to a close today, after an incredible amount
of work from race director MaryAnn Simpson, who had to change the date
of the race with one month's notice due to the clash with the Rally
of Canberra.
An imeasurable amount of thanks must go to MaryAnn after re-arranging
400 riders, and up to 100 volunteer staff, Police and Urban Services
as well as airlines to arrive in Canberra one week later for the Tour.
The mobile espresso van of 'Rudy's' was a tremendous success and riders
and supporters basked in glorious sunshine for the entire duration of
the weekend.
Thank you to our sponsors Power Bar, the official race food for the
Tour, as well as Hammer 'n' Cycle bike shop for their tremendous support.
Thanks must also go to Stephen Hodge for assisting the orchestration
of the weekend, as well as Bern and Colleen Meadley who organised the
catering. Also all of our volunteer road marshals, support vehicles,
commissaires, mechanics, judges, time keepers, chute staff, medical
