Mixed fortunes for Horsham Riders Mark O,Brien and Sam Witmitz in the Tour of Malaysia:
Mechanical failures have dampened what has been a very successful Stint for the Wimmera pair in Malaysia. In Stage 1 Mark punctured and lost close to 9 minutes waiting for a neutral spares vehicle. Although Mark bounced back in the following stage to take 3rd place but the time loss put him out of contention for a podium finish in the general classification. Mark is sitting in 26th postion after stage 4
Sam finishing the first stage 14 sec down on the leader in 15th place was in fine form with high personal expectations but suffered equipment failure at the 175 km mark of the second stage and became a reluctant tourist. His fortunes best described by his face book comment, "broken derailler - no spare bike to finish stage - pinnarello hammer throw - tour over"
Sam now looks forward to competing in the Langkowi Criterium along with Mark on Sunday the 2nd of May before both return to Australia. |
