Relive the final stages of each 2011 PowerNet Tour of Southland stage courtesy of our television partner Cue TV.Commentators John Cardwell, Jerard Stock and Jon Bridges brought us a blow-by-blow description of every stage finish, culminating in an historic victory for our youngest ever winner of the PowerNet Tour of Southland, Christchurch's Josh Atkins.
5/11/2011 - Christchurch teenager Josh Atkins has etched his name in the history books as the youngest rider to be crowned the 2011 PowerNet Tour of Southland champion.
Atkins and his PowerNet team of young guns Tom Scully, Shane Archbold, Myron Simpson, Alex Frame and Cam Karwowski did a sublime job of controlling the Tour’s final stanza from Winton to Invercargill today, shutting down numerous attempts by nearest rival Pure Black Racing to wrestle the yellow jersey.
“I’m very stoked to pull it off for the team. They rode incredibly,” Atkins said.
