Tour of Wellington

New Zealand, January 11-15, 2000

Stage 2 - January 12, Wellington - Masterton, 120km

One of the hardest stages in the tour was the 120 km stage from Wellington to Masterton, starting from the Parliament Buildings. On a bright sunny day, Brendon Vesty showed why he is one of the best hill climbers in New Zealand. He made his winning move half way up the 7 km hill to win the KOM, but in the end it was Greg Henderson of the New Zealand Track team who won the stage for the second time in two years. Henderson took the Yellow jersey from Robin Reid.
