Brilliant display of power riding by Joe to win stage three and take the King of the Mountains classification jersey at the Tour of Southland yesterday. Joe was very active during the early part of the stage in a break with Subway Avanti team mate James Williamson. Joe dropped back to the main peloton and took the Otama hill climb, bided his time and then attacked off the front with Bevan Mason near the end of the stage. Coming out of the last corner Joe accelerated away from Mason and took his first ever Tour of Southland stage win.
Joe crashed heavily on day one of the tour during the Bluff Hill stage. His GC hopes disappeared, but he is now very motivated to secure the KOM jersey during the six day tour.
See the official Tour of Southland website for the latest results as they come to hand.
The decisive attack.
Joe wins stage three comfortably from Bevan Mason.
