Pacific Power-Commonwealth Bank Cycling Classic

Stage 5 - ITT


I have taken some photos on my digital camera of this stage. They are not that great but they are the best and only ones in town and the world!

Early Report

The stage was held along the foreshore of Newcastle beach and finished with a winding, grinding climb up to the top of King Edward Park after 3.6 kms. The ITT began with a gale force tail wind, but riders had to ride into it as they came around the bluff and wound up the hill.
