Midlands Tour

Ballan, Victoria, 31 August, 2002

BJ and Godfrey escape

Long recognised as one of the toughest one day classics nationally the Midlands Tour was run under clear skies Saturday.

AIS riders Bruce "BJ" McIntosh and Lee Godfrey forged ahead as the toughest climbing began around Blackwood. They won comfortably from a large finishing bunch for a "Middies" of a dozen riders. James Taylor outsprinted Jonathan Davies, Andrew Torney and the rest for 3rd place. A delighted "BJ" in his acceptance speech expressed the desire that the event profile grow bigger and better.
