Handicap at Cloverlea

26/05/2007

21 Riders in total. 7 in the 10min bunch, Brian Munro, Wayne Tunks, Paul Kennedy, Graeme Patrick, Callan Barker, Karen Munro and Col Brown.

5 in the 5 minute bunch. Wayne Collins, Rob Monk, Steve Muggeridge, Dave Bailey and Ross Henry

5 in the scratch bunch, Chris Beales, Dave Shanahan, Thommo, James Henry and Pete Finlayson

4 in the Juniors and Mums group, Cy Monk, James Lalor, Renee Patrick and Tammy Patrick who were 2 minutes behind scratch but only doing 3 laps.

The 5 minute bunch caught the 10 minute bunch at the beginning of the final lap. This bunch stayed together till the finish. They caught the juniors at the start of Parkers Road and just caught Tammy at the end of Parkers Road.

Steve Muggeridge led out the sprint. Wayne Collins locked onto him and sprinted away for an easy win. Rob Monk could not go with him but managed to get over Steve to take second spot.

Thommo won the sprint for fastest time. Scratchies were only 40 seconds behind the winners.

The handicappers did an excellent job again.

The points are tight at the top for A and B with one race remaining in the current series.  In both grades, 1st place is up for grabs.  Who will take out the final stage at Shady Creek?

In A Grade, Will Thommo clean up or will James Henry come from behind?

In B grade will Monk and Yeatman battle it out for first on the hill for the series win?  Will Steve Muggeridge put in another fine effort to secure his newly promoted B grade status?
