    A second Tour of Southland cycling triumph is no more believable than a first for local hero Josh Burnett


    The Local Creation Signs rider - and 2022 champion - finished safely in the peloton on the eighth and final stage to take overall honours by almost two minutes.

    Burnett's been asked how it feels to be two-time winner of the countries biggest bike race.
