Grenda gives Genesys early lead
Mason holds off Loutit for second
Ben Grenda (Genesys Wealth Advisers) claimed the Tour of Toowoomba lead, after a long sprint from a lead group of six riders. Windy conditions throughout the 117 kilometre stage allowed the breakaway to keep a small margin over the peloton to the finish line in Pittsworth.
The 20-year-old rider’s sprint was by no means a short effort, with the finish line in Pittsworth at the end of a long, flat, straight road. Grenda claimed the stage victory over local rider Bevan Mason (FKG Toowoomba Team), while Alastair Loutit (McDonagh Blake Witness) took third place.
A lead group of seven – which included Michael Freiburg (Virgin Blue-RBS Morgans), Rhys Gillett (Virgin Blue-RBS Morgans), Tom Robinson (Genesys Wealth Advisers) and Andrew Arundel (Hillbrick Bicycles) – didn’t escape until the second last climb, more than 82 kilometres into the race. A broken chain for Freiburg over the closing kilometres hurt Virgin Blue-RBS Morgans’ stage victory chances.
Scott Law (Virgin Blue-RBS Morgans) won the bunch sprint for seventh place over Will Clarke (Genesys Wealth Advisers), as the peloton crossed the line 13 seconds behind the leaders.
