Englishman Dean Downing clings to the lead in the Malaysia Airlines Herald Sun Tour of Provincial Victoria, despite missing a place in the fifth stage at Geelong. Downing was belatedly presented with the leader's yellow jersey after a mix up on Saturday prior to the start of the 77 km kermesse on picturesque Eastern Beach.Riding for the Bendigo sponsored team, Downing lost 7 seconds to David McKenzie (Bicycle Superstore) in bonuses and stage placings, but will still carry yellow into the Tour of Otways at Colac.

Australia's Tour de France star Baden Cooke won his third stage of this week's tour when he out sprinted McKenzie in an extremely exciting race. Cooke is still fourth overall, but he is now only 40 seconds behind Downing and is in a serious position to win his second Herald Sun Tour, following on from his success in 2002.

"It was a very difficult sprint to the line," Cooke said. "You had to make sure you were in the right position as it was quite dangerous and there was not much room to move. Now after five stages, I am confident we can have a good dig at overall honours. Our team has discussed what lies ahead and we are serious about really having a go at trying to win."

McKenzie might have something to say about Cooke winning, as he is now in perfect position to challenge Downing for the lead.

"Firstly, there is no disgrace in finishing second to a rider like Baden Cooke in today's sprint," McKenzie said. "Secondly, General Classification honours are uppermost in our team's mind, we want to win, we're not here to run second."

While Cooke and McKenzie are carrying the flag for Australia to win this internationally ranked event, riders from overseas are still going to be hard to beat. Downing is in yellow, so obviously the local stars have to catch him, but watch out for Sweden's Jonas Ljungblad (Europcar - Pelaco). Ljungblad scored his second third placing in the Geelong stage and is placed 9th overall.

The Geelong kermesse stage was raced in brilliant sunshine with the heat taking its toll on some riders.

Already Ashley Hutchinson (Jayco) and Englishman Stephen Cumming (Bendigo) have withdrawn from the tour through illness, whilst another one of the English riders, Russell Downing (Bendigo) is in danger of withdrawing.

Downing, the younger brother of the tour leader, is suffering from a race fall in Stage 2 at Werribee and struggled to get through the Geelong stage. With the Bendigo team reduced to just three fit riders, it will make things difficult for Dean Downing to maintain his hold on yellow, as the attacks are coming; it's only a matter of time.

The Geelong stage will be remembered for the courageous performances of Ben Brooks (McGee - NSW IS) and Corey Sweet (La Trobe City). The New South Welshman and the South Australian broke away for 15 laps, sharing seven of the intermediate sprints before the peloton gobbled them up. The pair, whilst not featuring in the end results, were joint winners of the daily most aggressive rider award.

McKenzie strengthened his hold on the Sprint Championship, moving to 39 points and 12 ahead of Downing.

The HST will continue tomorrow with the Tour of Otways in the Colac district.
