Horgan grabs lead in series
10 October 2011
Finishing third in round three of the Benchmark Homes Elite Tour earned SUBWAY® Pro Cycling’s Sam Hogan the tour leaders jersey in North Canterbury on Saturday.
Shane Archbold (Reiker Cycles) won the 141 kilometre race beating Horgan and second placed Dylan Kennett (Team Orbea) in a sprint finish.
Horgan, who won the
opening Benchmark Homes Tour event in Nelson, and his
SUBWAY® Pro Cycling teammate Jason Allan were in a break of
11 riders that included Archbold and under 23 national road
champion Michael Vink (Thule).
The front group battled
cold, wet conditions in the Canterbury foothills to gain a
lead margin of five minutes while the remaining SUBWAY® Pro
Cycling riders of Dillon Bennett, Ian Smallman, Tom Hubbard
and Paul Odlin policed the main bunch.
The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team held onto its lead in the team’s classification.
The final round of the 2011 Benchmark Homes Cycling Tour will be raced in Oxford on 19th November.
