Halfway House while Hepburn springs

Englishman Kristian House maintained his hold on the lead in the Tour of Tasmania at the halfway point, while emerging Brisbane teenager Michael Hepburn sprung onto the podium for his maiden victory.

House, who only arrived in Australia the night before the tour started, increased his overall lead as the 580-kilometres race yesterday reached its halfway stage with an intriguing road race from Stanley to Dismal Swamp, inland of Smithon on the State's far North-West Coast.

House rode a solid race without ever really challenging to close all serious challengers out completely. He picked up seven valuable bonus seconds in the intermediate sprints around the streets of Stanley before the peloton headed towards Smithton. The stage was taken by little known Queenslander, Michael Hepburn, who is having just his second start in an open age multi-stage tour.

"I saw an opening and just went for it," he said. "I was a bit lucky that no one really saw me as a danger and I was able to get away and then hang on for a win – a win that I'll really cherish."

The Stanley to Dismal Swamp stage over 116.4 kilometres included eight hill climb laps of the Stanley township in the foothills of its most eye-catching icon, The Nut. Each hill climb and each lap under the banner in the main street carried points for either the King of the Mountain Championship of the Sprint Championship. Just as importantly each of the intermediates bore time bonuses for the general classification and it was here that the likes of Jack Bobridge and Chris Jongewaard were able to chip away at House's lead.

The Englishman started the day holding a nine-second lead over Victorian William Ford and a further 39 seconds to stage three winner, Ben King (WA). Ford and King fell to 16 and 55 seconds behind respectively yesterday, while Bobridge jumped into third at 54 seconds and Jongewaard kept his name in the fore by reducing his margin from 1:26 to 1:17. Sulzberger also moved up one spot on the at 1:46 behind House, but still races a tough road to inch his way much closer.

After leaving Stanley, a breakaway trio – including Sulzberger, fellow Tasmanian Richie Porte (Praties) and Johnnie Walker (South Australia/AIS) – jumped away from the main bunch and established a lead of almost 90 seconds at one stage. Sulzberger, Porte and Walker knuckled down and worked hard – extremely hard – but if the escape had more numbers it could have done some more damage.

The peloton were kept up to date on the progress of the leading trio via radio communications from team managers and the margin never at any stage looked to be enough. As the trio hit the five kilometres to go mark, the cavalry was bearing down on them and the inevitable was coming. At three kilometres, a slight rise gave Hepburn his chance.

Hepburn, 17, is from Brisbane and his only previous experience in an open age multi stage race was the Tour of Perth earlier this year, whilst back in April he contested the high quality Under 19 Mersey Valley Tour on Tasmania's North-West.

Hepburn had four seconds to spare when he crossed the finish line, relegating West Australian Luke Durbridge to second and Victorian Richard England to third. The best of the "big guns" in the top 10 was Victorian Leigh Howard who was fifth, while Jongewaard took ninth.

The tour continues on Friday with dual stages in the Central Coast region. Ulverstone will host a 30-lap criterium at 11:00, while a 78.5-kilometre road race from Ulverstone to Penguin will start at 13:30.
