Stage 8 - October 23: Bendigo Criterium, 28 km

Sweet wins, but stage annulled

Australian sprinter Jay Sweet (City Of Melbourne) has won the eighth stage of the Herald Sun Tour, a 28 kilometre criterium held in the major rural centre of Bendigo. Sweet out sprinted Russell Van Hout (AH Plant) and Brad McGee (Custom Fleet) for the win, although the stage did not count for the overall classification.

Before the start, riders complained that the wet conditions and tight roads were too dangerous to race over, and many refused to start. It was decided to go ahead with the stage, but only around 15 riders actually competed. Prize money was awarded, but no points or time bonuses.
