Toowoomba tactics discussed after virus forced Walker from Battle on Border fight

Failing to start the final stage at Battle on the Border wasn't a surprise for Drapac Cycling's Will Walker who started his 2013 NRS campaign under less than ideal circumstances. Last month Walker finished second overall at the Tour of Thailand, demonstrating he was on track for the second round of the Subaru National Road Series and decided to test himself on the eve of Stage 1. He performed a late-afternoon reconnaissance spin up Mount Warning that he said would have been fast enough to beat anyone come race day.
