John Lynch goes into the Race Leaders jersey after winning stage 1 and holding the lead after the stage 2 time trial |
|
The last stage is a one hour and 3 laps criterium on a 2.4km circuit |
|
All together on lap 2 |
|
A lap later the attacks start |
|
A lap later |
|
Still more riders try to get away |
|
And more |
|
Finally a few riders have a gap |
|
This break looks good but it will only stay away for three laps |
|
Then a counter attack with four laps to go |
|
More riders join the leaders |
|
Now five riders out front |
|
The leaders are well clear |
|
200m to go - The bunch is coming back, Shane Baker (Green Helmet) has jumped across to the break |
|
Stephen Halpin wins the stage and Shane Baker's final charge has done enough to gain the few seconds he needed to win the overall prize |
