The first Murarrie club crit of the year saw the team turn up in force. It was the first hit out for the new guys as a team and it proved to be a great mornings effort. With Jimmy, Mike and Matt being active for the first third of the race, it was great to see these boys contribiting to and bringing back the breaks. Unfortunately one break did get away to take the prime, but the team worked well to bring it all back together for the second half of the race.
Once the prime was done, Steve stepped up and helped with driving the bunch, while Mick, Condy and Andy had a patient race, sensing a bunch sprint might decide the race.
With three laps to go, Matt brought Andy to the front, where Mick and Condy expertly guided him through the final lap, dropping him off with 250m to go, where Andy opened up his sprint with awesome power to almost come past resident pro Pete Thompson to take third.
It was a great piece of team work and a great start to the year.
