Stage 5 - October 20: Camperdown To Warrnambool, 152.3 kms
Grand old man Wohlberg adds a road stage to his palmares
By Rod Morris in Warrnambool
 |
Tough-as-teak Canadian Eric Wohlberg claimed his fifth career stage win in the VicRoads Herald Sun Tour today - despite having his left wrist in a plaster cast. At age 38 Wohlberg is the oldest rider in this year's 1195 km tour, but it seems as though he is also the most cagey.
The fifth of 13 stages was arguably one of the toughest of the tour, a wind-swept 155 journey from Camperdown to Warrnambool, via Colac, Port Campbell and Peterborough. The consistent head and cross winds made things extremely difficult for riders, highlighted by the fact the leaders were 21 minutes behind the expected race time.
Wohlberg damaged his wrist when a car hit him back in June in his home country and the injury has taken longer than expected to heal. "I let it go for about a month, so it has put me behind schedule somewhat in recovery," Wohlberg said. "It's uncomfortable [the plaster cast] but it's made me concentrate more."
Wohlberg is not a serious challenger for general classification honours in this tour, but is happy to pick up a stage win. "The win is nice and it certainly won't hurt my overall time in GC [general classification], although realistically I'm not going to win overall," he added.
The prestigious yellow jersey for tour leader is still safely in the hands of Jamie Drew, who had the thrill of wearing it into his home town of Warrnambool. "I only live a couple of blocks from the stage finish and it was great to have so many of the local people that I know come out to cheer me on," Drew said.

Drew was greeted on the podium by his wife Annabelle and 18-month sold Alexander, who seemed bemused with all the attention his father was receiving. "That was a tough day out, the winds made life difficult for everyone," he said. "Coming from the area, I knew what to expect, but that still didn't make it any easier."
The field of 84 riders was pressured just 3 km into the stage when Luke Roberts (Emu Spirit/Apsco) and former tour leader, Italian star Ivan Fanelli (Europcar - Pelaco) decided to go for some early points. Roberts said was surprised not more riders decided to get in on the early action. "By not having many in the break group, it made things tough out the front, in a way I was glad when some cover arrived," he said.
Roberts and Fanelli rode for almost 60 km without assistance before Belgium rider Danny In't Ven (Carlton Midstrength) and Chilean Jose Medina (City of Melbourne) joined them. This little "United Nations" group rode strongly for the next 40 km until three lone riders produced some superb grinding efforts to bridge the gap between the breakaways and the main peleton. Big Troy Glennon of New South Wales riding for the FRF Couriers team joined Roberts, Fanelli, In't Ven and Medina at the 92 km mark and just 7 km later, Wohlberg joined in proceedings.

By now the race was getting to the serious stage with the peloton sensing danger over the closing 50 km. Queensland's Tony Mann (Caravello) was next to cross the chasm between leaders and the big chasing bunch and at the 127 km mark, was classed as a breakaway rider. The peloton closed the gap to 20 seconds with 10 km of the stage remaining and most tour stalwarts expected the leaders to be mowed down. Well, think again.
Wohlberg, Roberts and Mann put down the pedal and actually opened up a bigger gap, eventually having a 35 second advantage over the bunch after their sprint to the line. In't Ven claimed fourth place and Medina fifth in meritorious efforts in a tough day on the road.
For Wohlberg it was his fifth Herald Sun Tour stage victory, but his first in a road race stage. "I have won two time trials and two criteriums before, so its nice to add a road stage as well," Wohlberg said. The win also makes up for the disappointment of 2002 when Wohlberg was knocked over by a media motorbike on the tough Mt Baw Baw climb, which ruined any chance he might have had of claiming GC honours.

Robert's gutsy ride yesterday was rewarded with the Most Aggressive performance of the day award. Of the 14 intermediate sprints and King of the Mountain bonuses on offer, Roberts finished in 13 of them and in doing so elevated himself from 27th (and 3.34 minutes) to a highly creditable 13th and just 1.59 minutes behind and realistically back in the bike race.
Drew retained his 36 second lead over Carlstrom as the top 10 in General Classification remained basically the same. The only real change was Carlton Midstrength rider Greg Henderson moving from 9th to 7th after leapfrogging Malaysian Airlines team captain Matt Wilson and Tasmanian Sean Sullivan, who is riding for Barloworld.
The Herald Sun Tour continues tomorrow with a dual stage, starting with a 30 km criterium in Port Fairy at 11 a.m. and then 99 km road stage from Port Fairy to Hamilton in Victoria's Western District. The tour will finish in Ballarat this Sunday after the field - which is now down to 82 riders - have completed 13 stages and 1195 km.
Today's race casualties were Jacyo rider Allan Iacuone, who tore a hamstring and VicRoads team member Kane Oakley, who was suffering from fatigue.
