KRISTIAN GOT THIRD!!!

Foodworks Teams Series Rnd2 – Finish from UQ Cycle on Vimeo.

Rnd 2 Podium

We had our own little Paris Roubaix today for the second race in the QLD Foodworks Team Series.

It was a dry, 130km road race on some narrow, sketchy roads that were full of potholes and cow-dung.  Most of the course was flat however half way around each lap (2 laps) we came up against a 20% climb that looked like a wall rising out of the fields.  I witnessed some riders getting off and walking and while I tried to laugh, I was almost dead and that made mocking people rather hard.

Mavis, Kristian, Bobo and Ben made it over the climb with the lead group.  Mavis did a fantastic job looking after Kristian in the peleton and used all of his race experience to ensure Kristian got to the end with as much advantage as possible.  Mavis 3.0’s contribution were fantastic and it was great to have him out racing today.

After the second climb the lead group had dwindled but Bobo, Ben and Kristian managed to make the cut.  Two riders were up the road in a break away and it didn’t look like they were going to get caught but with 4km to go Krisitian TT’d away from the chase pack and managed to hold on for third at the finish line.  A fantastic race by all of the guys!

A big thanks to all of our helpers at the race today and good to see a few of the other Uni riders going well.  Neil H was acting as one of the comms so thanks for making the racing possible.

Onwards to the next race!
