Youngster wins Stage but Roulston holds lead in Tour of Southland

Clinton Avery didn't expect to win the stage finish on the summit of the feared Bluff Hill but he was the sole survivor of a late breakaway only three kilometres from the finish, and he held on to win by only seconds from Australian Scott Peoples and Hayden Roulston. The eighteen year old former NZ mountain bike champion rode away from his breakaway companion, Southland veteran John Alabaster, on the steep 2k climb. The win moved him into the under-23 category Jersey.
Avery was as surprised as anybody with the win. "It's my biggest win ever. I didn't expect to stay away, and I was just hoping to hold a good placing on the climb," he said. Roulston also was happy with his day in Yellow. "I'm quite happy with how it's turned out. Bluff isn't really a climb for me and I was just riding to get up there. It will be an interesting few days defending the jersey," he said.
The early action in the stage came from Gordon McCauley and Karl Murray who held a break at about forty seconds for some thirty kilometres. The pair sat up ten kilometres from the finish, but the break put Murray into the Sprint Ace jersey.
