Gerrans, who was introduced to road cycling by the great Phil Anderson, started the 11-kilometre time trial 32 seconds behind tour leader Dominique Perras in the general classification, and he scaled the twisting climb in the second-fastest time to wrest the lead.
Such was the effort of Gerrans — the third-last rider off the ramp, with Perras last — to produce a time that would beat the Canadian that he vomited in the final kilometres as he pushed himself to the top of the climb.
Gerrans' father Allan was proud of his son's achievement, having been staggered by the mishap on Thursday.
