John Lieswyn (Australia Post) has grabbed the leader's yellow jersey in the Sun Tour after winning the second stage, a 36 kilometre criterium held in Gembrook. In cold, windy conditions, Lieswyn sprinted home ahead of Austrian Rene Haselbacher (Ballarat*Eureka!), with Polish riders Piotr Chmielewski and Zbigniew Piatek (Echuca-Moama) taking third and fourth respectively.
Similar to yesterday's opening stage, a breakaway went early in the race. It comprised six riders, also including Stéphane Barthe (City Of Melbourne) and Jorgen Bo Petersen (Malaysia Airlines) in addition to the above four. With several strong teams represented, the six rode out to a 20 second gap and were not able to be brought back by David McKenzie's Jayco team. Even renowned criterium riders such as Robbie McEwen, Jay Sweet and Henk Vogels were lapped.
The Sun Tour's third stage will be held this afternoon with a 129.5 km leg from Gembrook to Morwell.
