Australian Team Report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 manager

Stage 5 of the Giro delle Regioni was an individual time trial over 18km of mainly flat, small and windy roads. We had two riders, Peter Dawson and Lee Godfrey, trying hard for a result in this stage as well as Caleb Manion for his GC. When Lee and Peter had finished their rider they were 1st and 2nd respectively at that point and had to wait for the strong riders to finish. Finally it was the 2nd last rider to finish that pushed Lee into 2nd place and Peter finished 6th. Caleb rode well to maintain his GC position.
