Australian Team Report
By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 manager
The second stage of the Transalsace started with a couple of climbs but most of the day was flat. Gene Bates started the day well for the Australians, getting into a break of four which stayed clear long enough for him to win a sprint at the 64km mark and take 3" bonus. When this group Simon Gerrans put himself in a 7 man break which stayed away to finish narrowly in front of the main group. Vaitkus from Vellutex jumped clear to take the win with Simon taking third and moving to 4th overall.
