Van Zyl Doubtful for Amsterdam

The South-African rider Jean-Pierre van Zijl might be replaced by the Belgium Steven de Neef,
if he can't manage to solve some visa problems. His case is complicated, because he is a
South-African citizen but is married to a Swiss girl and lives in Switzerland

Stage 4 -Malaysia Airlines Herald Sun Tour - Australia - Cat. 2.3
Posted Sun Oct 17 02:32:19 2004 (EDT in North America)
Downing leads Sun Tour after Stage 4 British rider Dean Downing took the overall lead in Victoria's Herald-Sun tour on Saturday after Robert McLachlan won the fourth stage. McLachlan was first across the line after being among a 12-strong group which broke away early in the 117-kilometre kermesse stage. Former Tour de France green jersey Baden Cooke was second, with Richard England third. Downing (fifth on the day) moved to the top of the general classification at the expense of Tasmanian Karl Menzies (seventh). Meanwhile Victorian Cadel Evans finished fourth in the 246km Tour of Lombardy, the final race of the 2004 World Cup series, in Italy overnight. Olympic road race champion Paolo Bettini added a third World Cup title to his 2004 collection of titles after finishing the series with a small points margin over second-placed Davide Rebellin. Bettini managed to keep fellow Italian Rebellin at bay as both finished out of the leading positions in the last of the 10 races of the season. The race was won by another Italian, Giro d'Italia title holder Damiano Cunego, who beat Dutchman Michael Boogerd and compatriot Ivan Basso in a sprint after catching them on the descent of the final climb just four kilometres from the finish. Evans finished in the same time in the bunch sprint. (Source: ABC)ABC Sports (OZ) (English)
