If his morning's victory wasn't enough to embarrass the "guns", 48 year old John Alabaster rode away soon after the start of the afternoon stage with Danny Hillary, with the intention of picking up a few sprint prizes but the pair were only swallowed up by the peloton five kilometres from the stage finish at Invercargill.

In a massive bunch sprint, World Madison Silver Medalist Greg Henderson went clear 400 metres out and held off Peter Latham and Tour leader Jeremy Yates. "A lot of people were fighting for my wheel," Henderson said. "Scotty (Guyton) took off with about five hundred to go. That's when it slowed down. I went a bit early but nobody could move off my wheel."

The two stages made no differences to the GC and Yates' big lead. He still holds a buffer of more than fifty seconds.

Tomorrow the riders face what is regarded as the toughest day, a 180 km ride from Winton to the scenic lakes resort at Te Anau. Guyton's Southland Times Team will see the stage as the only real opportunity left to take the Yellow Jersey from Yates, and the stage should live up to the expectations.
