Tour de Tablelands update

Stage 4 Criterium 
The criteruim for this tour is one of the hardest street circuits around.
This stage can usually make or break some riders tour hopes and it did not dissapoint.The feild was under constant attack for the whole stage  then with 5 mins to go Chris Roche launched the race winning move.He powered away froma very tired main feild with the dixon homes in there with numbers was always goin to work in our favour havin Chris away Chris soloed  to victory and to makes things better Kyle Marwood hit the bunch up the back straight to get a Dixon Homes  1,2 .


Stage 3  44KM Road Stage
As they say as the flag drops the all the talk stops and once again the race was off to a very fast start with the feild puttin the hammer down very early on.Ev Corry and Kyle Marwood got nice gap and were joined by drapac rider Grant Irwin  this put the merida broncos team on the defensive but they road hard and bought it back together until Miles Olman from Drapac
got away and had Adam Cashman in tow and they were not to be caught  with Adam coming in second place.Was a happier start to the day for Dixon Homes.




Stage 2  Time trial
The short  4km time trail is always a very hard ride due to the wind that belts the course up the home straight and once again it didnt let us down.Kyle Marwood our NQ Games time trial champion was pumped for big ride and placed 4th only 4 seconds down on the days winner.All our other general classification riders were also placed well still in position to make up for stage 1 revenge.
Stage 1
Race  one for the weekend got under way after small delay and havin the A Grade feild halved so only a fairly small feild full of good riders were underway.The hammer went down from the gun and speeds of 80km/hr were reached 5 km into the race .Attacks were launched one after the other  and the feild was on the back foot a group of 4 riders got a gap and unfortunately were were not represented and they got solid gap Dixon homes boys tried to real them in but to no avail so the break rode away till the finish with a 1.30 gap.Harry Rassie Chris Roche and Adam Cashman finish in the next group.Other team memebers didnt have the best day but always tomorrow.Next stage  is the time trial .
