Fly V australia’s Kemp Picks Up Where He Left Off

Adelaide, Australia – In another bold display of gutsy attacking riding, Fly V australia’s David Kemp spent more than 120 kilometers off the front in yesterday’s Stage 2 of the 2010 Santos Tour Down Under.

Kemp’s attacking move placed him in the lead for all but 6 kilometers of the day’s 133.5 km stage. The catch was made with 6 kilometers to go as the sprinters' teams wound up the pace as the bunch sped into Hahndorf.

“I was feeling good today and wanted to give it go in the break, said Kemp. "The conditions today were similar to the weather experienced in Balllarat of the weekend of the Nationals. Today felt similar but 3 in the lead and not 8, that’s a big ask!”

Kemp’s ride in Stage 2 earned him the most aggressive rider's jersey for the day. “The jersey is a great honor for David and just desserts based on how he has been approaching races,” said team owner, Chris White.

Although the Santos Tour Down Under is a UCI ProTour event, Fly V australia has two riders competing for the composite Australian National Team (Uni SA). Both David and Jonathan Cantwell are seizing the opportunity to animate the race where possible.

Jonathan has had some misfortune in past stage 1 & 2, first breaking his bike and finishing on a borrowed one on day 1 and then in stage 2 he had to deal with a puncture at an inopportune time.
