Australian Robbie McEwen (Fitzroy Cycles) has won his second consective stage in the Herald Sun Tour, a 36 kilometre criterium in Maffra. McEwen showed no signs of tiredness after yesterday's long breakaway stage, and sprinted to victory ahead of Ballarat*eureka! riders Olaf Pollack and Saulius Ruskys.
Remigius Lupeikis (Echuca-Moama) kept his lead over Peter Wrolich (Ballarat*eureka!), with the riders having to do a second stage in a few hours, 131 kilometres from Maffra to Lakes Entrance.
