Carnegie-Caulfield Cycling Club CriteriumGlenvale Crescent, Mulgrave, Vic, December 2, 2000 Report Another top field of 187
on a fine Sunday in Melbourne, the presence of national team women adding
to the challenges facing the local girls. A grade seemed to have learned from last weeks lapping, Simon Gerrans (SBR/VIS) at it again up the road with Cameron Carlisle (Fitzroy Cycles) and Graham Carlson (Giramondo). No lap taken this week though, attempts to bridge came from all quarters. It was to be a larger group for the finale as six or eight made it across to the escapees in the latter half of the race. Noted Scapin abuser Robert Wilson (Beasley/Scapin) finished off the race easing up having bolted through the last corner like the big track sprinter he is with James Taylor (Ashburton Cycles) in his wake. Dean Johnstone took third ahead of Gerrans who is looking forward to taking delivery of a new De Rosa when he returns from this week’s VIS camp in Glenmaggie. Thee away in B grade, they went early and never looked under threat. It seems many in the vast, 76 rider, bunch were unaware of the trio’s escape. A hard core of chasing riders formed around Tokyo Olympian Mick Hollingworth and made an attempt at bridging. The balance of the bunch seemed content to keep the chasers in range thinking that was the front of the race! Many of Australia’s best female riders were present in the B grade race, Tadich, Williams, Scrymegour, DeMarte, Mactier and others including 26yo Canadian MTB racer Anne Yew (Trek/VW) from Alberta who rode both C and the later B grade race contributing to both. The escapees stayed away, finishing first Peter Barnett from Chris Bourke and Matt Coulston with Rod Bilke winning the field sprint for fourth. Last week’s fourth place Simon Walker took the top placing in C grade today in a tight sprint against track heavyweight Justin Dovaston who put everything he had into the final metres. Katrina Purcell capitalized on her excellent recent track form to take third leading in Brendan Gaffey. D grade saw Boyd Friis also step up from fourth last week to win the sprint with at least six riders still in contention at ten metres to go. Mark Kinzett got the nod for second ahead of the eternally third peter Calveros and Jonas Lesouef. The kids in E grade again picked up valuable tips from their supervising riders before getting into the business end of their race. Peter Johnstone winning from Mick Downing, Amy Philips and Sherie Woods.

An elite field of Australian and international riders, headed by Stuart O'Grady were led into line for the Colli Classic Criterium to the sounds of the Rockingham Scottish band. Eventual winner, Western Australian rider Eddy Hollands, was quietly confident before the race and rightfully so. He established himself in a breakaway group early on that included last year's Colli Classic winner, Scott Suckling. The lead group looked in good form and on each passing lap marginally increasing their lead over the rest of the field. With fifteen minutes to go, it looked as if this breakaway group, Hollands, McPharland, Suckling, would lap the main peloton. The breakaways were averaging 50km/hr as they raced around the Armadale circuit and had upped their advantage to 50 seconds over the peloton. Not wanting to be lapped, Hilton McMurdo and Stuart O'Grady put the pressure on, attacking the peloton. McMurdo put in a strong performance to reel in a two man chase group of West Australian Peter Dawson and Victorian Hilton Clarke. With only minutes to go Chief Commissaire Glen Vigor instructed the main bunch off the circuit to allow for a clean sprint finish by the breakaways and the chase group, 6 riders in all. The bunch sprint was won by Baden Cooke. Hollands a current Australian Track Champion, was too strong with a lap and a half to go he attacked, finishing first. Victorian rider David McPartland came in second, and Scott Suckling finished in third place. The second race in the 2000 Perth Cycle Instead Criterium Series will be held in Leederville on Wednesday December 6 at 7:30pm.
