REPORT

In club racing, seven elite A-Grade riders lined up for the 36km criterium race around the 2km Heffron Park circuit on Saturday 10 August 2002 in perfect riding conditions.

Randwick Botany U17 rider Robert Cater entertained the spectators with a 100m breakaway in lap 4 and again with 2 to go. Jerzy Sowa from the T.K. Masters Gizycko club in Poland showed some fighting spirit with a breakaway mid-way through the race. They were all back together for the final showdown which saw a closely fought sprint to the line.

Anthony Spurgeon (Caravello) crossed first in a time of 55min 22sec and an average speed of just under 40kph. Second was Stewart Campbell (Eastern Suburbs) with Randwick Botany’s Matthew Lucas (pictured right) third in his first placing as an A-Grade rider.

A steady 36kph average speed was set in the thirteen-rider B-Grade race over 32km. Final placings were Gary Oliver (Manly Warringah) 53min 55sec, Shaun Bloch (Randwick Botany- pictured left) and Alex Simmons (Sydney).

A large C Grade field (23 riders) raced for 28km and set a slightly higher average speed of 36.4kph, when compared with B-Grade. Randwick Botany rider Wayne Goold and Matthew Tabone made separate breakaways during the race, however in the final test in the final sprint, Frank Conceicao from the Eastern Suburbs club proved too strong winning in a time of 46min 35sec. Matthew Cordery (Southern Offroad MTB) was second with Randwick Botany’s Keegan Aitchison third. Tony Caruana and Wayne Goold just missed out on a place.

The D-Grade race featured some good performances from first time riders. Victoria McNeill from the Sydney club lined up for the first time with 22 other riders for a 20km race. McNeill rode strongly finishing just off the back of the bunch.

In the final sprint Andrew Price also from the Sydney club won in a time of 35min 46sec and an average speed of 33.9kph. Randwick Botany’s Janelle Lindsay (pictured right), stormed home to take second place with Roy O’Toole third. The E-Grade event was over 14km and was won by Kevin Blanchfield.
