The fighting Bulldog spirit of the British continued for a third consecutive stage of the VicRoads Herald Sun Tour yesterday when Paul Manning claimed victory in the longest section of the race.

Manning, 28, riding for the Bendigo Building Industry team, won the 162.7 km stage from Dunkeld to Horsham in Victoria's Western District, whilst Warrnambool's Jamie Drew (Jayco) retained his hold on the "Golden Fleece" top that goes with leading the tour. Drew's lead, however, has dwindled from 42 seconds to just 20 seconds, and he now faces two days of tough climbing.

When quizzed on how he would fare over the mountains, he replied: "Let's just wait and see." Drew's biggest dangers now are volatile Englishman Jeremy Hunt (Malaysia Airlines) and South Australian Luke Roberts (Emu Spirit/Apsco), who is 26 seconds adrift.

How it unfolded

The leading break

The eighth of 13 stages of the Herald Sun Tour was equally as exciting as the seven previous races and again full of drama.

One of the more dramatic moments was when Victorian rider Domenic Gatto (Subaru) crashed at 80 km/h on a steep descent when hurtling down the Grampians National Park. Gatto simply got up, brushed the gravel from his knicks and re-mounted... or at least he attempted to until he discovered there was more damage to his bike than his body.

At the time of Gatto's fall he was involved in a tenacious breakaway with Steve Cunningham (Rio Coffee), South African Jacobuf de Witt (Barloworld) and Anthony Challinor (FRF Couriers). With Gatto missing, the other trio stayed out in front of the peloton for more than 40 km before Challinor's FRF Courier team-mate Troy Glennon bridged the gap in a courageous solo ride.

That quartet then settled in for the remainder of the journey towards Horsham. Cunningham, de Witt, Challinor and Glennon pushed their advantage out to a little over two minutes before the peleton, sensing danger, closed the gap down to 30 seconds. It was then that the peloton went to sleep and the leading four kicked further ahead.

Heading up Silverband Falls in the Northern area of the Grampians, a group of 11 chasers closed the gap to the front quartet at exactly half way through the stage. The newly formed group of 15 riders established a solid work ethic and 40 km from home, the margin had increased to 4 minutes 15 seconds. Whether it was going to be enough remained the be seen.

As the tour entourage edged closer to Horsham, the strong breakaway group was working overtime to maintain their advantage and even though the gap was narrowed down to 90 seconds, the front bunch were in top gear.

Hunt attacks

The momentum lifted even further when the field hit the Wimmera Highway and the sprinters had the peloton in sight. Englishman Jeremy Hunt (Malaysia Airlines) and Dominique Perras (Active For Life) made another bold move when the field reached the 10 km mark, getting clear by about 100 metres. The chase continued, but one-by-one, riders were found wanting in their legs. Perras remained in the lead, Hunt went by the side, American Tim Johnson (Active For Life) made his move and there was Cummings.

It was a desperate lunge to the line in front of a huge crowd in Horsham that saw Manning claim his first ever victory on Australian soil and capped a trifecta of wins for British riders, following Keiran Page and Kristian House the day prior.

"This is my fourth visit to Australia but first time in a big race like the Herald Sun Tour," Manning explained. "There wasn't the strong winds of the previous two days so when I saw the sunshine I thought it was time to do something. Sprinting is not my forte normally, so I think made my attack at exactly the right time." Manning is a member of the British Track Endurance squad, which is using the Australian summer as a valuable training camp.

"You can't get any better training than racing in an event like this," added Manning. There are still five stages and of this 1195 km tour remaining and realistically any one of about 16 riders could still win."

However, it is highly likely that Drew, Hunt and Roberts and perhaps, Kjell Carlstrom (Europcar - Pelaco), who is 42 seconds behind, Simon Gerrans (Malaysia Airlines) at 47 seconds and Jonas Ljungblad (City of Melbourne), also 47 seconds, are the more serious chances. The tour continues tomorrow with dual stages, opening with a 99.4 km climb from Horsham to Mt William and then an afternoon sprint of 52.5 km from Hall's Gap to Ararat.
