Results at Nundah

The team managed to get a great result today at Nundah by taking 2nd and 4th. With over 60 riders in A Grade, the contest was fierce. Sunny weather after so much rain was sure to draw a crowd, and so the team put in to ensure a result ensued.




The race was fast to begin with, which meant that no real breaks went until Andy got himself into a two man break that stayed away for several kilometres. Once this was reeled in, the counter attacks began, with Jimmy, Matt, Aidan and Steve all having ago in the breaks. Condy played it smart and waited for the finale.


It was apparent that a bunch sprint would decide the race, however in the last few kilometres of the race, Steve, Matt and Aidan continued to attack to soften up the bunch so that Andy and Condy could wait for the sprint.


The chaotic finish meant that Andy couldn't get position, however Condy was on the right wheels and was in a great position for the sprint. Unfortunately Condy's back tyre was going flat so his sprint wasn't the best and he couldn't do better than second. Without the flat no doubt he would've won. Still a great result. Andy did well to get up for 4th.


It was all round a good team effort. More results to come for sure
