Qld Teams Series - Finale

The final Teams Series race was held at Murarrie for a 60min criterium. The team was ready to lay it all on the line and make the race as hard as possible. Once again, the wind was going to play a big part with big gusts causing havoc across Brisbane.
At the start, Matt went immediately on the attack in the attempt to cause a split. A small group formed, howver it was shut down soon after. Then it was the turn of Taylor and Tom to do some one-two attacking to again try to cause a split - but again no luck.Callum was then able to spend two laps off the front in a solo bid to take the prime. Callum rode strong to hold off the pack, but team Budget was keen to contest the Prime and brought Callum back.

Condy and Matt then got themselves into a small break. All of the leaders were in the break and it looked like this might be the move. But again the bunch came back together.

Soon after the break was brought back, the peleton split in the cross winds and caught many by surprise. Unfortunately none of the boys made it across and a chase ensued. The break was too good and stayed away.

Condy was fast enough to take the sprint from the chasing group.

Next stop: Ipswich Open
