Sutton wins back-to-back down under, leads Sun Tour!

Director’s report from Matt White:

Another successful day at the office!

The team went on the attack from the start and Tom Peterson found himself in the break. He was also being the best placed rider on the GC which put pressure on Fly V to keep the break from going too far out.

Our boys just sat tight and waited for the last climb of the day, where we put a lot of heat on the leader!

In the front Tom found himself alone with world omnium champ and the fastest U23 in the world, Leigh Howard. Fly V were now closing in hard but Tom was just sitting-on knowing Chris Sutton was coming up quick from behind. The two break riders were swarmed in the last 100 meters with Cj wrapping up the bunch sprint and taking the leaders jersey by one second!

We now have one day to control on the flats before the crucial time trial.
