Victorian Baden Cooke is 44 km away from becoming the first Australian champion of the VicRoads Herald Sun Tour cycling classic since 1986. Cooke (24) produced a giant ride in today's gruelling 84.9 km 11th stage from Warragul to the peak of Mt Baw Baw - a climb described by Cooke as "The toughest hill climb stage I have ever had to do." Cooke collapsed just over the finish line with medicos treating him for hyperventilation.

While Cooke and his Jayco teammates revel in the glory of leading Australia's premier road race, today's hero was Alan Iacuone of the Active For Life team. The popular 27 year old Victorian, winner of the 1997 Tour of Tasmania, won his first ever Herald Sun Tour stage, climbing the mountain quicker than anyone else, but even that was half an hour slower than what tour officials expected the stage to finish at.

With the temperature at just 4 degrees and spectators enjoying the snow conditions on the 1900 m mountain, Iacuone had the never-ending smile of his, turned into a grimace when he finally crossed the line.

"I was hoping to do a good ride and because I'm a climber, I was reasonably confident, but this is still beyond what I really expected...I'm rapt," Iacuone said. "I did this climb about a week before the tour started, so I knew what to expect, but that still didn't make it any easier."

Cooke summed the climb up even more succinctly, when he chipped "All the bad things people told me about this hill were absolutely true."

Iacuone's great ride also elevated him into second position and just 1 minute 17 seconds behind Cooke, but that margin will be almost impossible to peg back in tomorrow's final stage, a 44 criterium around Geelong's Eastern Park. With 18 intermediate sprints, each carrying a 3 second bonus, along with a further 20 second bonus for winning the stage, the best Iacuone can hope for is to 74 seconds, which would leave him short by 3 seconds. And that's providing Iacuone wins every sprint, wins the stage and Cooke doesn't feature at all....a big call and an extremely unlikely one. The only other scenario would be if Cooke failed to finish the stage...another remote possibility.

Swedish rider Jonas Ljungblad (Malaysia Airlines) slipped to third, despite producing a solid ride for seventh over the mountain. Ljungblad is now 1.46 minutes behind Cooke, while Victorian David McKenzie (Active For Life) is fourth at 2.18 minutes off the lead.

One of the bravest rides today was South African-Australian Jeremy Maartens (Maffra Community Sports Club). Maartens was part of a 15 man breakaway group early in the stage but at the 45 km hit out on his own and he went onto win four successive hill climbs before the chasers dragged him back.

Iacuone made his final attack at the Mt Baw Baw toll gatehouse, some 6 km from the finish, although it was still a tough climb to the top. His day's work elevated him into second position on General Classification, some 1.17 minutes behind Cooke.

Cooke's Jayco teammate Matt Wilson and Canadian Eric Wohlberg (Ballarat*eureka) provided the hard luck stories of the day. Wilson broke the handlebars on his bike just 15 km into the stage and with no replacement available, he joined team sponsor Jerry Ryan in the support vehicle, his tour over. Wohlberg was not a happy rider after colliding with a media motorbike, falling and losing valuable time on GC standings.

Trent Wilson (Active For Life) ensured his win in the East Gippsland Shire King of the Mountain Championship even though he didn't win any climbs today. Meanwhile New Zealand's Scott Guyton (Pelaco) will carry a big lead in the Shimano Sprint Championship into tomorrow's stage. Guyton picked more valuable points today before he and teammate Lee Vertongen got shelled out the back of the peloton and finished 41 minutes behind Iacuone in last place.

Tasmanian rider Sean Sullivan (CarltonMidstrength) also saw his tour come to an end a day earlier than planned. Sullivan punctured early in the stage and was unable to regain his place in the peloton, eventually withdrawing to the safety of the sag wagon.

Today's stage enhanced the reputations of some riders and destroyed that of others. What it has done to their fitness and confidence could be seen in Geelong tomorrow. The 12th and final stage will start at 2.45 p.m., although the day's activities, which includes criteriums for age group riders, will kick off at 10 a.m.
