People that I saw race today were:
A grade: Mike Clement & Craig Weller
Can't tell you much here only that Michael C avoided a major crash. A grade also were mixed in with E grade on E grades sprint finish so I think it stuffed up the sprint for E grade at the end.
D grade: Pete, Me (Jo), Camilla, Michele, Andrew
Little Pete did a solo break away on lap 2, but was eventually reeled back in. Pete did a lot of work on the front so it was easy to see he would be up there in the placings. Pete broke away again solo at the downhill turn on the final lap (just before the sprint finish). A few of us formed a 3 man breakaway to catch him but couldn't - he had it in the bag. Pete finished 1st by a decent margin. He told me it was the very first and only thing he had won in cycling ever - AWESOME WIN PETEY and a very nice Helmet for the win.
I think I was around 4th with 10 metres to go, but was outsprinted by a few other boys, so some where between 6th and 10th with the winning bunch. Camilla and Michele did several turns at the front, if anything the pace was probably a lot slower than they thought it would be, so they always looked comfortable and they finished nicely with the bunch. Andrew dropped off from the bunch at one stage, but somehow managed to claw his way back in the end.
E grade: Eleri, Peter T, Stuart Hickson
Now E grade were the star's today with Peter T winning the Prime sprint and getting himself a cool $50 bucks. I think there were some issues with A grade being in there sprint lap but the final result was Eleri 2nd, Hickson 3rd, Pete T 4th. GO E GRADE GO!! Stuart won a cycle computer - any one want to buy one?
I think all the D grade riders & Pete should get some "aggresive" rider points for the Giro comp! All of us ladies got flowers in the end, funnily enough none of us DHBC woman are actually mothers!
