Connor Wright (Falcons Pedal Mafia) claimed victory in the men's event on the pivotal stage 3 summit finish of the Tour of Tasmania, the second round of the 2026 ProVelo SuperLeague, however there was no winner in the women's race which was cancelled after a mass pile up at under 25km to go.
The crash, which included stage 2 winner and race leader Sophia Sammons (Team Redcat) rippled through the peloton after a fall near the front of the bunch. With little time to react and avoid the incident there was soon a massive pile of bikes and riders spread across the road. A neutralisation was quickly put in place and then, as riders were assessed and medical resources fully utilised, a cancellation was put in place.
The men's race, held after the women's, went ahead. Initially a break of seven, sparked by individual rider William Heffernan, went out and carved a solid gap in the 73.6km road race from Poatina but it was pulled back in on the final climb and then a select group of nine battled it out toward the top.
