REPORT
Stewart Campbell
dominated the 36km A/B Grade criterium race at Heffron Park, Maroubra
during the Randwick Botany Cycling Club race on Saturday 15 December
2001. The ten A/B riders stayed together until the halfway mark when a
group of five comprising Stewart Campbell, John Kenny, Luke Gowty, Clive
Hammerson and U17 rider Chris Jenkins, broke away. Campbell did most of
the work at the front and lifted the pace to drop Hammerson and Jenkins
with 8km to go. The remaining 3 riders fought out a tough sprint to the
line with Campbell finishing only half a wheel ahead of Kenny, with Gowty
half a bike length further back.
Randwick Botany

years on the Tri-athlon circuit. Visch rode strongly in the 12-rider 28km

during the race to test the other riders. With 400m to go, the bunch
sprint was started by Tony Horneman who led until 100m from home. Lindsay

surged ahead to claim first place, with Tony Caruana finishing second.
Horneman finished in third place.
