Tessa Fabry wins morning time trial of Battle on the Border
First ever NRS stage win for Victorian
Victoria's Tessa Fabry (Jayco/Apollo/VIS) claimed a maiden National Road Series stage victory on Saturday as the fastest rider against the clock in the Battle on the Border stage two individual time trial. The win also elevated Fabry into the overall lead with two stages remaining.
Fabry, who finished on the podium in stage one's road race, posted a time of 13:04.58, 31 seconds ahead of Rebecca Heath (Bicycle Superstore) and under 23 national time trial champion Jenelle Crooks (Holden Women's Cycling).
Fabry's teammate Kendelle Hodges set the early best time before Fabry surprised her rivals, catching both Heath and Crooks out on the road, crossing the line just ahead of the pair.
"I was a bit worried about the corners and weather I was losing time on them because I'm still getting used to the time trial bike. [But] I've been working on my time trials lately and I was hoping that I had improved a bit."
Fabry started the day on equal time to overnight Tour leader Lizzie Williams (Specialized Securitor) and Anna-Leeza Hull (Racing Kangaroos), and starts stage three with a 36 second lead over Williams and 41 seconds ahead of Hull.
"I've only got one other teammate, Kendelle, but she works really well in the bunch and we look out for each other so hopefully we should be able to hold onto the lead."
The Tour continues this afternoon with a criterium in Murwillumbah.
