Mc Cann terzo in Australia
Belfast cyclist David McCann finished in third place overall in the Jayco Herald Sun Tour event in Australia.
The Belfast rider had gone into the final stage just one second behind leader Chris Jongewaard and on the same time as 2005 winner Simon Gerrans.

Gerrans clinched overall victory with Jongewaard in second with McCann 14 seconds off the pace in the end.

It rounded off a fine season for McCann in the Giant Asia team during which he won the Tour of Indonesia.

The 33-year-old also claimed the Irish road race title for the third time.
