Wiggins wins Sun Tour time trial, moves into lead!

Team Garmin-Slipstream took ownership of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour in the stage 5 time trial, with current Great Britain time trial champion Bradley Wiggins winning the short 10km by a huge margin — 13 seconds, over his teammate, Canadian time trial champion Svein Tuft.

With the win Wiggo passes another teammate, Chris Sutton, in taking the overall lead with only one stage remaining. Sutton holds onto second place overall with a strong time trial performance as well, with Tuft now sitting in fourth. The potential for an Argyle sweep of the final podium is alive and well down under!
