Stage 3 - November 3: Oakhurst Canefields, 70.3 km
Poad wins stage, but loses lead!

New Zealander Jaaron Poad (Argon 18 Bikes - Caravello) has lost the lead in the Jayco Tour of Queensland despite winning the third stage, a 70.3 km ride around the Oakhurst Canefields. Poad started the day 3 seconds ahead of Russell Van Hout (Subaru), but when the South Australian picked up 10 seconds in bonuses from the intermediate sprints and hill climbs and then took second in the stage, 2 seconds behind the Kiwi, he also took over the lead.
Filling the podium from the morning stage behind Poad and Van Hout was Englishman Rob Sharman, riding for the Centracks team, whilst the hard luck story of the stage was undoubtedly Germany's Thomas Liese (Malaysia Airlines). Liese broke away from the leading pack of eight riders at about the 29 km mark and was on his own for the majority of the race. He picked up numerous points in the King of the Mountain Championship and will wear the distinctive jersey to signal that in tomorrow's fifth stage. But the German was caught by the peloton with just 4 km left to travel and he could do no better than 7th.
