Race 13 - January 28: XC Short Course: Open Men

Chris Jongewaard (Adelaide) took the chance to earn another national jersey this weekend in the short course cross country event. The battle for second ended with Under 23 rider Paul Van Ploeg (Mt Beauty) taking second. Van Ploeg held off the charge from Canberra's Dylan Cooper to get a well-deserved second while Cooper finished in third.
