Stage 10 - October 25: Sale - Moe, 99.8 km
Matt Wilson wins stage as Heirewegh gains some time back
By Rod Morris in Moe
 |
After a 90 minute spell, riders were ready to go again, this time for the 99.8 km stage from Sale to Moe. But waiting for them was the worst weather the tour has seen this week. If the strong headwinds weren't enough, riders were also met with driving rain, causing the expected finish time to be 10 minutes later than expected.
A group of 12 riders made a break at around the 65 km mark, but with no real challengers on GC placings included, the tour leaders didn't chase too hard. The best positioned rider in the breakaway group was Jayco's Matt Wilson, who started the stage in 14th and 7.36 minutes behind teammate Cooke - he ended it in 9th place and had reduced the margin to 3.36 minutes...definite striking distance.
Belgian Bart Heirewegh (Carlton Midstrength), 16th at 10.54 mins behind, was also there, but for some of the others, this was the first real serious foray at the front of the race. Heirewegh ended the day in 12th place and a neat 7 minutes behind Cooke - if he can climb, he may still be a threat.
By the 80 km mark, the breakaways were 3 minutes ahead, but sensing danger. The hammer went down and some riders couldn't hack it. The first casualty was New Zealand's Jaarod Poad (Rio Coffee), losing contact with the sprinters under the 10 km sign. Tasmanians Nathan Clarke (Carlton Midstrength) and Bernard Sulzberger (VicRoads) also dropped off, but to their credit, fought back gamely to score their best placings for the week.
Out the front, Wilson, Jamie Drew (Active For Life), Heirewegh and 22-year-old NSW rider David McPartland (Coates Shorco Sykes) made their own attack and in the final sprint, finished in that order. All in all, day 8 of the 10 day Herald Sun Tour belonged to the Jayco team, whether Mt Baw Baw is as kind, remains to be seen.
The tour will finish in Geelong on Sunday with a 44 lap kermesse at Eastern Park, starting at 2.45 p.m.
