10 Sept Tour de Nundah
The teams racing organised by Kim Flesser was a big hit. A very strong and chilly headwind was blowing along the main straight making it very tough. In A grade a 3 man break consisting of James Hepburn and Nic from Jayco-2XU and John Murazak (QSM) got away early on and worked super hard to eventually lap the remaining riders. These riders sprinted for 4th and 5th and then were withdrawn to allow the 3 in the breakaway to sprint for the win with Nic narrowly beating John.
C grade was a very competitive and hard fought race with many attempted breakaways and riders yo-yoing off the back in the wind, but it all came down to a sprint finish.
B grade was similar with breakaways not lasting much more than a lap, being chased down by other teams and the wind slowing progress for a small group. Uni got both primes, the first one by a tyre from Matt Powell HPRW. A small group of 5 got away with only a few minutes remaining and just stayed away with Uni, Ascot and Data3 taking the top 3 slots.
Thanks again to Fless, the Nundah Festival for adding some prize money, and all the officials, volunteers and marshalls who put up with the cold windy conditions.
Here are the results, and I'll put up a short video compilation tomorrow.
