Stage 1 - January 2: Hutt City Centre criterium, 45km

Robin Reid has won the first stage of the Tour of Wellington in very windy conditions. Reid escaped with three other riders on the second of the criterium's 25 laps, and the quartet rapidly built up a decisive lead, lapping the field three laps from the finish.

In the final four-man sprint, Reid just edged out team-mate Bryce Shapley. Their Avanti team-mates has controlled the bunch behind them, allowing their escape and preventing the traditional bunch sprint for the Hutt stage.

"I'm really rapt with the win," Reid said. "There was some good strong work from the guys in the break and the other guys behind to make sure we kept our advantage."
