Great ride by JC to finish second on the tough Queen stage finishing up Admiral Hill at the Trusthouse Cycle Classic in the Wairarapa today.
Joe made his move up the steep ascent of Kourarau Hill cresting the summit with two other riders for company. A rapid descent ensued with the three riders going full gas along the rolling 4km section between Kourarau and Admiral Hill. Picking up the remnants of an early seven man break one by one, they were at the head of the race half way up the ascent of Admiral Hill. Towards the finish Nathan Earle (who was a member of the early break) got the jump on Joe and Lachlan Norris to take the stage win by 5 seconds.
JC is now sitting in 9th place on GC, 2.40 behind new tour leader George Bennett. Thanks for the great action shot Adrian.
