34th Tour de l'Avenir, Cat

France, September 3-13, 1997

Stage 3, Cholet - Poitiers, 165 kms:


Australian Team Report

We got our first result today although not as good as we wanted. Jay was 3rd in a big bunch sprint. Peter Rogers moved up to 8th place overall after winning a bonus sprint. Jay put himself in a position to win, leading until the final 30 meters but his lack of race fitness as a result of breaking his collar bone 4 weeks age, told in the final meters.

Matt White pulled out of the race today complaining of lethargy and lack of strength to handle the high pace.
