The team raced the local club crit at Nundah on Saturday morning, with an eye on doing well on Sundays crit at Crestmead. We had a plan to practice our leadouts and to also be aggressive. We did both, however the results although good, weren't what we wanted. The team wants it's first win of the season and we hoped Saturday would bring that.
Everything was looking good until late in the race a solo rider caught the peleton by surprise and was strong enough to hold on for more than a lap to win. Our leadout was miss timed and as a result we were riding for second. Condy did well to get third, while Andy held on for fourth after a good leadout. The win can't be far off.
Crestmead:
Round two at Crestmead was all about getting Condy back into the points to improve on his overall position. The race averaged almost 47kph, so it was clear a bunch sprint would result.
It was planned to wait until the end for any moves, where Matt got into a late break. Despite a hard working group, the break didn't last and things were all together with 10 minutes to go. The race remained fast as teams got ready for a sprint, until a small crash with one lap to go broke the momentum of many teams.
Condy was near the front and avoided the mayhem, however the sprint had little organisation, which made it hard to judge. Condy dug in and manged to take 8th and get some more points for the overall.
