Sprint finish in the 2013 Gore to InvercargillMid South Canterbury's Nathan Adams claimed the 83rd Gore to Invercargill Road Classic tonight in a bunch sprint finish on Tay Street.

A strong field of 67 lined up in 9 bunches over 38 minutes for the start in Gore, facing blustery headwinds.

After the front three groups came together they were able to stay away and in the end Adams was able to hold off Michael Greaves by a rim to claim the win with Erin Criglington taking third overall.

Scratch marker Cam Karwowski claimed fastest time honours in 1 hour 36 minutes 48 seconds, making up over 32 minutes on the front of the race over the 70km race. Sequoia Cooper took out the Fastest Women title and Josh Haggerty the fastest junior.
