REPORT 

 

A beautiful sunny day brought out the spectators and huge numbers lined the sides of the track watching the excitment & spectacle of the Randwick Botany Cycle racing
   

A grade on the starting line and our Elite riders go through a last minute strategy meeting.  "Hey Josh, you want to be my Domestique today?"
   

The boys were looking good out there. Left Josh Marden and Dave Treacey in pursuit of Pete "The Machine" Macdonald.
   

Natahan Page sucks in the big ones while Computer sucks his wheel.
   

So where did "The Machine" go? Same place as usual, about 1/2 kilometre in front of everyone else. 
   

Tony Horneman got some great close-ups.
   

No surprises who won A grade.  Pete raises his hand in victory.
   

Meanwhile back a little way Nathan "Rollo" Rollason took a leaf out of "The Machine's" book and rode away from the A peleton on the bell lap to take a great second place.  Good work Rollo. Further back Computer safeguards his third spot.
   

B grade action and Karl Bellamy leads the peleton through the first corner.  Andy Hall was riding extremely well for someone who has been off the bike for a while.
   

Michael Murdoch looked pretty comfortable and confident as he led B grade passed the start/finish line at the bell going into the final lap.  Wonder if he knew Luke Davison and Tyron Bicknell were both tucked in on his wheel.
   

C grade action and two of our C grade heavies, Laura The Queen of Heffron Bortoluzzi and Rocky "The Down Hill Rocket" Fortuna keep close to the front of the peleton.
   

Left Pete O'Conner takes out the C grade peleton sprint from Matthew McGoon.  My apologies to winner Scott Simpson. You must have been so far in front that I missed you.
   

My apologies to D & E grade.  Sorry no action shots of you guys this week.  I went for a warm up ride and Tony H arrived late.  At least I got back for the podium shots and you might notice that I got the tops of your heads in the shot.  Not like Tony H who took the podium shots of the A, B & C grade winners.
