North Sydney rider Laurant
Vignes drove the 6-rider A-Grade bunch at Randwick Botany Cycling Club
races at Heffron Park on Saturday 27 July 2002. Vignes along with
Anthony Caravello from Team Caravello and John Kenny from Eastern
Suburbs broke away on lap 4 of 18.
The trio stayed together
to fight out the final sprint to the line. Spurgeon led out but
Vignes managed to follow his wheel and Spurgeon won by only the
narrowest of margins.
Kenny finished third with the rest of the field further back.
Spurgeon's
winning time was 54min 50sec with an average speed of 40km/h.
Belinda Granger from
Eastern Suburbs club lined up with fifteen other B-Grade riders
for the 32km criterium race. Granger stayed with the bunch and
was happy with her performance in the sprint. Final placings were
Clive Hammerson, Glen Ion from Waratah Veterans and David
Jackson.

The winning time was 50min
36sec at an average speed of 38.3km/h. Granger commented after
the race that it was good fun and a nice hard race around Heffron
Parks tight corners. She is looking forward to competing
regularly on Saturday afternoons.
Randwick Botany’s Matthew
Tabone has been watching too many Tour de France highlights
because he made a spectacular solo breakaway with 4 laps to go in
the 16-rider 28km C Grade event.

Tabone maintained a 200m
lead until the end of the race, winning in a time of 46min 9sec.
Frank Conceicao from the Eastern Suburbs club won the bunch sprint
for second place followed by Daniel Hynes from the Sydney club.
Other bunch finishers included Murray Tulett and Colin Newell from
Waratah Veterans.

Tanya Bosch from the
Sydney club finished just out of the placings in the 20km
19-rider D-Grade race. Bosch is preparing for the World
Masters Games to be held in Melbourne on 5 October 2002.
First place went to Ben Still in a time of 34min 33sec with
Mark Woodhouse second and Peter Haywood from Manly Warringah
third.
Strong performances
were put in by Colleen McCarthy and Fleur Jolley from the
Eastern Suburbs club and Beth Bowen and Ken Lord from the
Sydney Club.
The E-Grade event was
over 14km and was won by Norman Jew in a time of 31min with
Kevin Blanchfield second.
Junior numbers were
down this week due to Randwick Botany riders competing in the
Canberra Two Day Tour. Two events were staged starting with
the U15 Time Trial over 6km. The best time was recorded by
Andrew Young 10min 40sec, Mark Woodhouse came in at 11min
16sec and Brodie Talbot from the Bankstown Sports club 11min
46sec. Talbot used the event as a preparation race for the
Annual Randwick Botany Junior Carnival to be held next
Saturday 3 August starting at 8.30am at Heffron Park.
Andriano Maradini recorded a time of 13min 19sec in the 6km
U11 Time Trial.
Maradini put in a
gutsy performance in the 10km Handicap. Given a 3min start
ahead of the older riders, he managed to stay with them after
he was caught at the half way mark. He finished only 30m
behind which is not bad considering the other kids are up to 2
years older than him.
The Chief Commissaire,
Helen Vella named Adriano Maradini as the best rider of the
day.
Randwick Botany Cycling Club
conducts racing at Heffron Park, Maroubra NSW each Saturday throughout
the year. Juniors start at 1.00pm and Seniors 2.30pm. For more
