Wesley Sulzberger (SouthAustralia.com) took out the morning's criterium stage in Traralgon in dominating style, winning 11 intermediate sprints and the final dash to the line ahead of Scott Peoples and Darren Lapthorne. In doing so, he moved himself up to second on the general classification behind Drapac-Porsche's Dean Windsor, with 54 seconds separating the two.

The criterium was raced at a blistering speed, averaging 40 kph on a 30-lap 1.5 km circuit. Sulzberger was joined by Shepparton youngster Scott Peoples and Patrick Shaw – and then later by Canberra ace Robert McLachlan – to form a pretty handy breakaway group. They were able to establish a formidable lead of more than 40 seconds over the peloton, which included the other general classification challengers.

Sulzberger crossed the intermediate sprint ahead of his fellow escapees 11 times to establish a tour winning lead in the Sprint Championship and his victory in the stage also gave success in the Criterium Championship.

On top of that, Sulzberger has one hand on the Most Aggressive Rider Championship and is greedily eyeing off the tour's most cherished reward – overall victory. "I'll be giving it my best shot, don't worry about that," he said.
