Stage 6 - November 5: Gin Gin - Mount Perry, 63.3 km
Poad's run comes to an end
By Rod Morris in Mount Perry
|
South Australian rider Corey Sweet (Lysaght) won the Gin Gin to Mount Perry morning stage over 63 km in a close sprint with Canadian Dominique Perras (Jayco) and Liese, with Uruguayan Jorge Libonatti (Europcar) not far away in fourth place.
The quartet had broken away from a strong group about 10 km up the road and then put the hammer down to win by 53 seconds from a pack which included high GC riders, David McKenzie (Jayco), Russell Downing (Radio 4BU - KIX FM), Van Hout and Tony Mann (Argon 18 Bikes - Caravello).
|
The big losers in the morning stage were overnight leader Jaaron Poad (Argon 18 Bikes - Caravello) and Belgian ace Bart Heirewegh (Bundaberg Sugar). Poad's spell in the spotlight came to a crashing end when he missed the jump of the early breaks, limping home in 48th place, some 11.02 minutes behind the leading four. Poad's dream of staying the leader's distinctive orange jersey officially ended in this stage.
Heirewegh suffered a puncture whilst the peloton were sprinting around for intermediate points in Gin Gin. By the time he had regained his place in the bunch, a breakaway group was way up the road ahead of him. Heirewegh and his Bundaberg Sugar team worked hard on the front of the train to peg the break back, but when a further group sprinted off, the Belgian's dream of winning also ended.
Retiring after this tour, Heirewegh was able to finish a credible 16th in the stage, but that didn't hide the fact he still lost 3.20 minutes.
