REPORT
After several strong breakaways, Duncan Crosby took out the Randwick Botany
Cycling Club A Grade 36km race at Heffron Park on Saturday 30 June 2001 in a
time of 59 minutes 42 seconds, second was Tony Iannacito and third place went to
Randwick Botany A Grader Ross Mackay.
Judging the B Grade 32km event was a challenge due to 5 riders sprinting for the
finish line side-by-side at almost 60kmh. In a photo finish, David Jackson scrapped
home in a winning time of 50 minutes 55 seconds, only half a wheel ahead of
Randwick Botany rider Dean Preddy with Warwick Goldsmith third. The average
speed for the race was 38kmh.
Eighteen riders contested the 28km C Grade criterium race, with an exciting
bunch sprint to the line. Under 17 rider Liam Fletcher made it home first in a
time of 47 minutes 5 seconds. Second was Brad Lane followed by Rob
Fullarton. New Randwick Botany Club member Andrew Richards finished just out of the
placings.
Bankstown Sports Club rider Paul Dimitriou set the pace in the D Grade 20km
event, but Lindsay Monks powered home to win in a time of 34 minutes 3 seconds.
Neil Morris was second and Kane Baker third. Andrew Pike won the E Grade 14km
race in a time of 32 minutes 6 seconds followed by Norman Jew and John Lynch.
Junior rider numbers where down, due to several Randwick Botany riders competing
in junior open events this weekend. Thirteen juniors competed in 4 events
starting with the Junior 2km Time Trial, which was won by Liam Fletcher in a
time of 3 minutes 7 seconds. Second fastest was Michael Murdoch, 3 minutes 27
seconds and third was Chris Young, 3 minutes 24 seconds.
The junior A Grade 14km race was won by Liam Fletcher with Michael Murdoch
second. Junior B Grade 12km race was taken out by Robert Remedious followed by
Thom Richards and Belinda Angwin. Junior C Grade 6km race was won by Tyron
Davies with Morgan Stokes second and Antoine Rosse third.
The next Randwick Botany Cycling Club race will
be conducted at Heffron Park on Saturday 7 July 2001.
Juniors start at 1pm and Seniors 2.30pm. Spectators
are always welcome. For more

Prime
report: There was 1 prime (pronounced preem)
conducted during the B Grade criterium race. The Prime was
kindly donated by Tony Iannicito.
The Prime sprint was spectacular. It
was lead out strongly by Dave Mackey who just misjudged the distance to
the start finish line and started dying about 20 metres to go. This
allowed Warwick Goldsmith to come over the top of Dave and steal the
prize. Warwick went on to also claim 3rd place in the race
Hope
everyone had an enjoyable day's racing and we will see you all there next
week.
