REPORT
Glorious weather greeted over 80 junior
riders from around the state to the annual Randwick Botany Cycling
Club Junior Open Carnival at Heffron Park on Saturday 17 July 2004.
Spurred on by the success of Aussie cyclist in the Tour de France,
including Robbie McEwan, our young stars of the future competed in a
series of scratch, points, handicap and elimination races.
The premier U17 Keith Harris Memorial Elimination Trophy Elimination
Race provided some exciting racing in the all-in event. Riders
started together and the last 2 riders at the end of each lap were
eliminated from the race. The surviving riders in finishing order
were Matthew Pettit (Parramatta), Matthew Wild (Southern Cross), Dale
Scarfe (Central Coast) and Ben Trojko (Penrith Panthers).
|
 |
The U15 12km scratch race start resembled the
start of a Formula 1 motor race, with Matthew Guillan (Southern
Cross) blasting off the front with the rest of the bunch in hot
pursuit. Guillan, Luke Davison (Randwick Botany) and Tom Patton (Randwick
Botany) formed a 3-man breakaway. Tamas Bykerk (Randwick Botany)
was caught in no-mans-land but dug deep to catch the break to
fight out a close sprint. Davison crossed the line first,
followed by Guillan, Patton and Bykerk. |
| |
|
|
 |
Randwick Botany Team tactics came into play in
the U15 Point Score over 16km with Davison and Bykerk doing
absolutely no work in assisting the chasing peleton to catch team
mate Tom Patton. In an unbelievable disply of fitness and
determination, Tom stayed away for the entire race, earning
most of the points and finishing 1000m ahead of the other riders.
Tom was building on his lead every lap and had the race continued
he would probably have lapped the field. |

A special award was presented in the U13
Points Score race, which was won by Jack Bennett (Southern
Cross). The Matthew Bosch Memorial Prize was presented to Kirsty
Mills from the St George club for being the gutsiest rider in the
race. The award is in memory of Matthew Bosch who died in 1995
from cancer, aged 11 years. Matthew could only ride a fixed gear
bike with training wheels because of an intellectual disability,
but he showed great love and determination for his riding. The
award was presented by Matthew’s mother Tanya Bosch. |
