Australian Team Report

By Brian Stephens, Australian U23 manager
Today was the first stage of the GP Tell, part of the Under 23 World Cup, in Switzerland. The stage was a 72km circuit race consisting of 5 laps of 14.5km, starting and finishing in Hutwill. The AIS Mapei Aqua Australian team here consists of David Pell, David McPartland, Gene Bates, Adrian Laidler and Simon Gerrans.
The stage featured a big group of 9 riders going clear on the first lap, which was soon joined by another group of 14 with David McPartland being our only representative. Another group of 15 came across 2 laps later containing Simon Gerrans but in the meantime 4 had broken away from the front group.
Gene Bates also attempted to join them but by the time he was successful in getting clear of the main group, it was too late and he was in too smaller group. In the last lap Albasini came over the front group alone but Italian, Fabio Borghesi, proved the strongest and came in alone to win the stage.
