Te Anau, the tourist resort near Fiordland at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island will always remain in Jeremy Vennell's memory.

A year ago in a well publicized debacle, he handed over the yellow jersey to eventual winner Gordon McCauley, but in today's stage of the PowerNet Tour he took the jersey from Hayden Roulston and will wear it into the final day tomorrow.

Roulston was devastated at losing the tour lead by nine seconds and refused to talk to the media but Vennell was totally elated. "I'm stoked! That was the clear plan. I went for the Blackmount sprint and just made them work as hard as they could. Yesterday it seemed the riders gave up a bit and let Roully take the jersey so today I was going to go all out and either get there or die trying" he said.

Vennell played tribute to his Calder Stewart team. They are awesome and we work so well together". He also thanked the two Southland Times riders Matt Haydock and Scott Peoples plus his own team mate Karl Murray who were in the winning break with him. "There was no way I'd ever have made it without them. I said I'd let them have the stage if they pulled me through. There was no way I'd ever have made it through without them" he said.

Vennell and Murray applied the pressure and went away on the approach to the Blackmount Hill, they were quickly joined by Haydock and Peoples. By the start of the climb they were 42 seconds clear. On the climb Murray had already done his job and dropped back to the peloton. The field split on the climb but a chasing trio of Mike Northey (Southland Times), David Pell (Calder Stewart) and Clinton Avery (Ascot Park Hotel) never got closer to the leaders than 1 minute 20 seconds and the peloton, including Roulston, languished at around two minutes behind the leaders. Roulston attempted to chase but with the Southland Times and Calder Stewart teams having riders up the road and his own team mostly behind the peloton, he had no success in organising a chasing group.

At the stage finish, Peoples out sprinted Haydock to claim his second win in three days.
