Stage 1 winner John Lieswyn (Winton's Middle Pub) has recaptured the lead in the Tour of Southland after taking the morning's 15 kilometre time trial from Balfour to Riversdale. Lieswyn won the Criterium Stage on Monday but lost the jersey later in the day in the first road stage. Today he was the fastest rider, recording 18 mins 43 secs for the fifteen kilometre time trial, eleven seconds faster than Canadian Time trial Champion Eric Wohlberg, with Russell Van Hout (Australia) third in 19 mins 14 secs.

Overnight leader Chris Horner could only manage 11th and dropped back to third on GC at 44 seconds with Scott Guyton still second at 30 seconds.

Previous Tour winner Glen Mitchell didn't line up for the Time Trial. He has been suffering from a rib injury sustained in a Luge accident at Queenstown last week.
