Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 coach

Stage 3 looked on paper to be the toughest of the tour. As it was a group of 40 riders came through the climbs together including for us, Dawson, Jamieson, Humbert and Moffatt. Jamieson tried an attack in the last 15 km but was brought back. In the sprint to the line, Dawson was edged into second by Kazakstan rider Valery Dimitriev. He still holds 2nd overall and the lead in the points competition.
