Report for stages 1 and 2

Women

Canberra rider Oenone Wood has clearly announced her intentions for the overall win in the Canberra Tour by beating the top Women in the first of two stages today Overnight leader of the Women's A-grade Canberra Tour, Natalie Bates, finished a creditable third in the stage.

The afternoon nearly resulted in a major upset, with third placed Emily Williams (TAS) cleverly counter-attacking with four riders, leaving the tiring leader (Bates) and second-placed Wood to try and limit the time lost in the last 6km to the finish.

Emily Williams has just won silver and bronze medals in the National Track Championships one week ago, and as the new leader, looks like she will be hard to beat.

"I thought I'd be much more tired after the Nationals, but I feel strong" said Williams "and I usually get better as Tour races progress".

Wood suffered from cramps towards the end of a long day and was "happy to finish with Natalie Bates". Bates and Wood finally limited their loss to seven seconds in the stage. The new leader is Williams.

Men

NSW rider Phil Thuaux (pronounced 'talks') was an outstanding winner of the first stage of the Men's A- grade Canberra Tour. After attacking 25km from the finish, it looked like he would be caught in the last 5km by a hard-charging bunch. As the gap closed to a couple of hundred of metres, a single rider, Glenn Stojanow, from Avanti-Blackman Bicycles, closed the gap to provide the much needed aid to the solo rider. The pair maintained a slim margin to the finish with Thuaux still able to out-sprint Stojanow for the stage win.

The afternoon saw another breakaway winning the race, this time David Harrigan (Avanti-Blackman Bicycles) beating the small group of eight to take the stage. After missing the crucial breakaway in the first minutes of stage two, he used some strong riding from team-mates to set up a counter-attack on the Cotter climb. After leaving the main group and closing the gap to the break-away with only one other rider (Cato-NSW), he beat the small group to record a strong sprint win on Eucumbene Drive. Talented SA rider, Russell Vanhout, takes over the overall lead after consistent riding and must be considered a favourite for the overall.

Notable Performances

Australian representative Junior (Juniors ride in the Men's B-grade field), Richard Moffatt, put in the outstanding ride of the day. After a heavy fall on one of the many descents, he managed to remount and ride back alone to the main group within 10km. Catching the bunch on the second hill-climb of the stage, he attacked again, heading out after a breakaway group of six riders further ahead. Another 10-15 kilometres later he made contact with this group, and after riding with the break for a while, attacked again to cross the line alone for the win. The young Wagga rider is certainly one to watch for the future.

Next Stage

All riders will have to change their gears for the difficult climbing stages to come over the next two days. The change from the flat, fast time trial course to steep hills will give the "mountain climbers" the edge, which is what the Canberra Tour is renowned for.

For the 400+ riders, who come from all Australian States and the ACT, the weekends racing culminates in the longest and most difficult stage on Sunday morning, when the men and women head out into southern ACT, with the men climbing the renowned Fitz’s Hill.
