Murrarie Criterium, Saturday 11 Dec 2010

The team turned up to the start line on Saturday for what would be a hard A grade race at Murrarie. The field included Jack Anderson, Steve George, David Melville and Ian Richards just to name a few. After many small break away efforts by Tomas Szollosi and Sam Volkers (new team rider) the field would inevitably come back together for a bunch sprint, or so the field thought.

On the back of the course on the final lap, a group of four managed to sneak away with a big attack from a Cyc'd rider. Tomas missed the front group but managed to attack with Sam Wood and Ian Richards and snare 5th place, with a big effort to get past the other chasers in the group. Sam rode a strong race, contributing to the pace making at the front for the majority of the race and pulling back dangerous breaks with big efforts on the front. All in all another successful day in the saddle.
