SEPTEMBER BEAUIE RACE REPORT
On a beautiful spring morning the riders faced ideal racing conditions. With many racers away watching UCI worlds (ITT today) we ran a handicap combining the four grades.
The D graders set off first with some juniors from RBCC and they looked cohesive but soon some strong C graders were busting the bunch apart. Fairly early the front of the race was a 3 man break of Andew Donohoe and Pascal Daners from NSCC plus Kieron Safstrom of SUVelo who was enjoying his one and only C grade entry at Beauie.
The large B grade pack had their race faces on with the usual drivers of Craig Vardy and Craig Stevens hitting it up. There was also plenty of action from Aiden Teuma and Lucas Stevenson who resembled the bandaged bear after his crash at Nationals this week. Young Ben Coates from MWCC was quieter than expected, maybe still tired after his gold medal performance in the U15 nats road race. We also saw a faint smile from Adam Buttenshaw during the race as he alternated between the back of the bunch and driving it up the front.
The pace was clearly white hot with most B graders averaging 41.2km/hour – ouch, no wonder several got spat out.
The small A grade contingent was working really well together - Will Baigent from NSCC doing his bit with Kris Collins and Matt Dinham who were all putting in. They soon scooped up the fractured C graders and were trying very hard to reel in the strong B grade field.
The 3 man leading break was soon a solo affair with Kieron going off the front but credit to Pascal and Andrew for digging deep to bring him back to a 3-up race for the podium. By the last lap it was clear that this was the winning move and in the sprint to the line, Kieron rode away to take the prize with Pascal 2nd and Andrew third.
Final results after a really exciting race were:
1st Kieron Sofstrom SUVelo
2nd Pascal Daners NSCC
3rd Andrew Donohoe NSCC
Fastest Time Matt Dinham MWCC (good luck at UCI worlds Matt)
