October 01, 2011 (Trinidad and Tobago) – Stage One Coral Gardens/Shirvan/Carnbee Circuit Race, of the Tobago International Cycling Classic, was won by Riccardo Zoidl (RC Gourmetfein Wels), ahead of Euris Vidale (Team Foundation) and Emile Abraham (Team Vita Malt).

The 120km race was marked by a succession of breakaways. As soon as a group was caught, an other break formed. A group of 20 got away with 30km to go. It looked like the race would end in a bunch sprint as the riders were coming to the finish line, but Zoidl made an attack on the final climb and crossed the line five seconds ahead of Vidale who out-sprinted Abraham.

Vidale is the leader of the sprint classification. The yellow jersey was on the shoulders of Zoidl at the start of stage two. The general classification is not based on time, but on points. The Austrian rider is leading with 25 points, two points ahead of Vidale and four points ahead of local favorite, Emile Abraham.

Stage 2
Stage two was 117 kilometres long. The profile of the circuit was hilly, with a succession of five climbs coming into the finish line. One of those had a 20% grade. Jose Navarro (Team Coco) won the stage after droping his breakaway companions.

Lang Reynolds (Team Passo Prime Beef) came second and Stefan Rabitsch (RC Gourmetfein Wels) was third. There were a few breakaways during the race, but the difficulty of the course made a natural sélection. It was survival of the fittest out there as the riders were climbing – only 24 riders finished the stage.

The yellow jersey leader Zoidl holds on to his lead as he finished seventh at the line. With this result, he increased his lead in the general classification as he now has 39 points. There is a tie for second place between Mathias Wiele (Team Janatec) and Raphael Meran (Team Foundation) as both have 32 points.
