just some guy · « **on:** August 14, 2012, 13:32 »

A vast array of towns and communities will be treated to top-class cycling when the inaugural Tour of the Great South Coast sweeps Western Victoria.

The five-day, nine-stage tour will be held for the first time from August 15-19, making up the second leg of the 2012 SCODY Cup Series.

The 614km course stretches from popular fishing spot Nelson, which is near the Victorian-South Australian border, to as far as Port Campbell, situated on the Great Ocean Road and just kilometres away from the world-famous 12 Apostles.

Cheers JSG

Pure black listed again, saw that a couple of days ago too, but them participating isn't really confirmed. It'd be brilliant, but I'm not too optimistic.

The rankings are dodgy, Moobrien has been sensational all year but gets beaten in a flat crit race and is bumped down to second? Nope, can't follow the logic there.

ram · « **Reply #3 on:** August 14, 2012, 14:42 »

Oh yeah, Jono was mentioning this in the Gippsland thread, and there's a notable absence in the teams, Jayco U23s. Got some fine prospects in their lot, just a shame.

I saw a comment on twitter about them coming to take on the aussies so think pbr will be there

DinZ · « **Reply #5 on:** August 15, 2012, 03:03 »

Genesys take the win and second

Brenton Jones with the win, AJ in second and MacAnally of Budget third

DinZ · « **Reply #6 on:** August 15, 2012, 03:04 »

Is that his first race for Genesys?

DinZ · « **Reply #7 on:** August 15, 2012, 03:06 »

Just checked and it is. starting to look like a saddo talking to himself now

now they are in Jono's favourite eat / dont eat, change / dont change, sh*t dont sh*t part of the day while they wait for the afternoon road race

DinZ · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2012, 03:07 »

Continuing my monologue, sounds like there were a lot of crashes on wet roads. only about 50 riders left towards the end

DinZ · « **Reply #9 on:** August 15, 2012, 03:52 »

Thanks for the updates Dave. i did notice however that AJ is not the leader of the race by 6 seconds over Jones. i assume this is because he won some of the 73 intermediate sprints that occurred during the stage. they get bonuses so often it is just glorified half wheeling

DinZ · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2012, 04:00 »

Top 10 on stage 1

1. BRENTON JONES (GEN)   58:09
2. Anthony GIACOPPO (GEN)   +0
3. Ryan MACANALLY (BFL)   +0
4. Samuel WITMITZ (BFL)   +0
5. Caleb JONES (GWR)   +3
6. William WALKER (DPC) +3
7. Darren LAPTHORNE (DPC) +3
8. Joe LEWIS (RMA)     +5
9. Roman VAN UDEN (PBR)   +5
10. Jai CRAWFORD (GEN)   +5

DinZ · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2012, 04:06 »

About 45 riders within 11 seconds of lead, another 20 or so spread out but under a minute then about 70 more all a long way down, including Jono (who i thought was not riding) at nearly 3 minutes and some at over 14 minutes

As if that's different from the usual.

Nice debut for Jones, and who pulled out from Genesys?

DinZ · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2012, 04:53 »

quick compare of start list and results and Alex Carver is the name missing

DinZ · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:20 »

With 5 kms to go looking like a bunch sprint in stage 2. Genesys boys on the front

DinZ · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:28 »

Getting messy, big crash at 3kms to go has ruled a large chunk of the bunch out of the final sprint

DinZ · « **Reply #16 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:34 »

and it is that usual end of race tweet out where everyone stops telling me what is happening and i get annoyed. they tweet for whole race then stop 3kms for end. anyone would think they had other stuff to do. like pick up riders

Arb · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:43 »

What happened to Walker Will? Twitter said he DNF'ed "medical reasons", hope he's ok.

DinZ · « **Reply #18 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:46 »

Budget Forklifts match the Genesys effort from the morning with their own 1 -2

Davidson takes the win from MacAnally but AJ (Giacoppo, i do not write AJ cause we are buddies or anything just because i can never remember how to spell his name) holds on to the race lead.

yeah not seen any details but Lots of crashes. although strangely he was 6th on crit stage so may have avoided most of it, or just finished a bit beaten up and could not go on in the afternoon

Edit, looking at earlier tweets he was going well in morning race and photos of him before stage 2 he looks fine. so unless he crashed at start of stage 2 which has not been mentioned he must have started to get ill

just some guy · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2012, 07:02 »

Stupid phone.

Anyways was about to say great to see will walker doing well again on stage 1.

Hope he is ok

ram · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2012, 07:08 »

He did win Gippsland too. Hope he's fine.

And bloody brilliant to see Pure Black there.

ram · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:35 »

Giacoppo leading the overall by 13 seconds, think Jones is second.

DinZ · « **Reply #23 on:** August 15, 2012, 22:13 »

Apparently Walker had an episode of tachycardia. seems to be overly fast or irregular heart rate.

they have said it was a mild episode but was enough for him to be going to hospital and having more tests today.

DinZ · « **Reply #24 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:12 »

Stage 3 underway and Pat Shaw takes the first intermediate sprint. it is a crit so another 14 intermediate sprints to come

DinZ · « **Reply #25 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:15 »

and in the time it takes to type that Shaw has taken the second sprint. 4 in front with about 13 second lead

DinZ · « **Reply #26 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:18 »

Budget bring the front 4 back so AJ promptly wins the third sprint. shaw in 3rd

DinZ · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:25 »

and just when it looks like AJ has extended his lead Jones takes the next sprint

DinZ · « **Reply #28 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:36 »

some other people took some sprints. Shaw got another one, so with about 10 seconds in the bag he may move up the overall a few places.

6 guys off the front but not sure i am going to make it to the end as have a plane to catch

DinZ · « **Reply #29 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:46 »

plane from Portugal that is, not NZ. just in case Ram is listening

Shaws bid to move up the GC is thwarted by everyone in the field also getting bonus seconds in the intermediate sprints. i think even i have got a few. 3 laps to go in the race. not that it matters as it seems you get the same bonus for winning stage as for winning one of 10 intermediate sprints.
