Round 3 of the Trevallyn Hill Climb Time Trial series was down on numbers from previous weeks due to the TIS training camp being conducted on Tasmania's East Coast.

Launceston's Matt Rice was the victor, managing to edge out team mate Paul Turner by just five seconds. The two Geards Cycles riders are having a personal challenge over the six race series and the rivalry pushed them to the top of the leaderboard this week.

Novice rider Hudson Parker overcame a mid race fall to finish in 15th position in a time of 17.07, which was nearly 5 minutes quicker than his effort over the same course last week.

Last week's winning time of Caleb Manion (11.51) still stands as the course record.
