Stage 4 - November 8: Tuatapere-Winton, 88 km
Mitchell again in yellow in Tour of Southland.
By Alan Messenger
A year ago today, Glen Mitchell was in the depths of despair when a puncture cost him the yellow jersey in the PowerNet Tour of Southland. But today he was back on top of the world when he took over the jersey on the 88k stage from Tuatapere to Winton. The US-based Kiwi was one of seven riders who went away in a crucial break some twenty kilometres from the stage finish. Also in the break was Mitchell's Southland Times team mate Greg Henderson, who took the stage win from Gordon McCauley, Jeremy Vennell and Mitchell.
The stage was a dramatic one right from the start when tour leader Karl Menzies broke his chain after only two kilometres, and took fifteen kilometres to get back into the peloton. Mitchell explained how the stage developed: "The strategy was just to keep pressure on the Calder Stewart team, but I didn't want to be involved in taking the lead that way. We talked to each other and said that we didn't want to attack after he's had a mishap like that."
The incident definitely took some sting out of Menzies' legs and he missed the vital break. It also cost the Calder Stewart team dearly. Karl Murray dropped back to help his teammate and never made it back to the front of the race. Another team member, Richard England, was shortly afterwards involved in a crash with Zookeepers rider Dale Cheatley and is now out of the race. The Aussie suffered injuries which saw him taken to hospital for treatment.
Tomorrow, the riders face one of the toughest stages of the week, the 128 km ride from Lumsden to the Summit of the Crown Range near scenic Queenstown. The Tour finishes back in Invercargill on Saturday.
