Kerry has some success in Tahiti (Final Report)


Kerry Harford Tahiti report 3

A strong ride in The Tour De L'Amitie stage 7, a 16.6km time trial, from Kerry Harford saw the Bike NZ rider taking top honours in the masters grade for the day. His team mate Richard Walsh's second place in the TT was enough to reclaim the blue leaders' jersey.

 This left the diminished masters team to defend the leaders jersey in the eight and last stage, a 59km criterium along the seafront in down-town Papeete.

 With Kerry's 45km/hr power surges at the front of the peleton, leaving not much space for counter attacks, the Bike NZ masters team managed to secure the coveted blue jersey.>
