Stage three of the Santos North West Tour was one for the breakaway, with Search2Retain’s Cameron Bayly winning the 105km stage from Bingara to Narrabri.
The stage started with plenty of attacks and some testing climbs, coming as early as the four kilometre mark. With their eyes on the leader’s jersey, Huon Salmon-Genesys covered them all but, with about 20 kilometres to go, Bayly and Craig Evers (Racing Kangaroos) managed a successful escape.
The pair created a minute gap and rode together until Bayly made his move with just over a kilometre to go and rode to victory.
Third place was contested in a bunch sprint, with Breton Jones of Huon Salmon-Genesys coming in 24 seconds behind the day’s winner.
The day ended with Bayly taking the leader’s jersey from Jack Haig of Huon Salmon-Genesys. Bayly has a three second claim on the race lead heading into the next stage.
Jessie Kerrison of Budget Forklfts remains in the sprinter’s jersey and Jai Crawford (Huon Salmon-Genesys) leads the King of the Mountains classification.
Stage four will be a 126 kilometre race from Coonabarabran to Siding Spring via Tooraweenah.
