The leader's jersey in the Tour of New Zealand changed hands again on the third day, as Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team) won the mountain top finish at Admiral Hill to take the overall lead. Ruth Corset of Tabak Team International finished second, 27 seconds later, and third place went to former leader Oenone Wood of Team High Road.

USA's Armstrong now has a lead of 21 seconds over Australian Wood.

Armstrong dominated the finishing seven-kilometre climb and split the peloton, which suffered in the summer heat. The race's queen stage ran 125 kilometres from Masterton, ending on the climb up Admiral Hill.
