Storms force cancellation of Bendigo International Madison cycling classic

Tuesday, 9 March 2010

For the first time in 39 years, one of Australia's most prestigious cycling events the Bendigo International Madison was cancelled.

With thousands of fans eagerly anticipating some great cycling action inside Tom Flood Sports Centre,  the persistent heavy rain forced organisers to cancel the event at 7pm.

The Bendigo International Madison attracted cyclists from both overseas and interstate, and Committee chairman Warren Sinnott Sinnott was disappointed for both the field and spectators.

“It’s just disappointing that overseas riders did not get the chance to compete here and people didn’t get to see these world champions like Cameron Meyer and Leigh Howard," he said.

“It would have been Leigh’s third if he had won tonight and these are just things you won’t see, which is really disappointing.

“We know that it’s out of our control, but in this case it’s just a matter of letting it go and concentrating on 2011."

Despite the rain on Sunday, there was some high quality racing on Saturday with heats of the Golden Mile Wheelrace plus scratch races across all grades.  See results below.

2010 Whittlesea Challenge

Friday, 5 March 2010

Now in its third year, the Whittlesea Challenge will be held on Saturday 29 May.

The Whittlesea Challenge is fast becoming one of Victoria’s most scenic and challenging recreational rides.

Now in its third year, the event organised by Cycle Sport Victoria with the support of the City of Whittlesea, has moved dates and will be held on Saturday 29 May

The Whittlesea region provides the rare opportunity to escape the traffic and enjoy quiet roads, picturesque scenery and country charm only 35 minutes from central Melbourne. 

The 110km course entails a variety of undulating terrain and breathtaking views across the Kinglake National Park, catering for cyclists of all fitness levels and pushing cyclists to their limits.

The roads surrounding Whittlesea have long been popular with cyclists of all abilities.  Australian star Cadel Evans grew up in Arthur's Creek just down the road from Whittlesea, and still rates this as one of his favourite training regions anywhere in the world.  Many other European based cyclists such as Will Walker and Darren Lapthorne are regulars in these parts when back in Australia. 

Starting and finishing at Whittlesea's Walker Reserve, cyclists will be able to prepare for the challenge ahead and sit back, relax and discuss the ride in the official event village.

Also, $10 from each entry will be donated to the ‘Big Brother Big Sister’ charity.

So get on your bike and enter today, you will not be disappointed!!!

Hometown advantage to spur junior team

Friday, 5 March 2010

2010 Australian Junior Track Cycling C'ships, Melbourne, March 18-20.

With little over two weeks remaining, the 2010 Victorian junior team is finalising preparations for the 2010 Australian Junior Track Cycling Championships to be held at DISC in Thornbury.

The team, selected following performances at the 2010 Victorian Junior Track Championships and other 09/10 season events, will look to use a home town track and crowd to full advantage when the championships begin Thursday March 18.

Victorians to watch include five-time Australian junior champion Imogen Jelbart (Bendigo & District CC) and the JM17 Sprint and Pursuit teams, with Victoria the current Australian record holders in both disciplines.

2008 Australian championships medallists Jack Cummings (Carnegie Caulfield CC), Evan Hull (Carnegie Caulfield CC), Antonia Abbisogni (Bendigo & District CC) and Braeden Dean (Bendigo & District CC) all return to the team.

The team also features ten debutants including 2010 state champions Courtney Field (Carnegie Caulfield CC), Emma Bilston (Ballarat/Sebastopol CC), Emerson Harwood (Blackburn CC) and Jack Hickey (Carnegie Caulfield CC).

Team Manager Laurie Norris is quietly confident of the team's chances on home soil heading into the final couple of weeks of training.

"We predict this team will have a very successful Australian championships with potential medallists in every category," said Norris.

"I believe the team is better prepared than in previous years with the state championships held earlier in the season, so we are eagerly awaiting the championships to begin.

"I ask our Victorian and Australian cycling fans to get to DISC and support this great group of talented young riders." he added.

The 2010 Australian Junior Track Championships will see teams from all Australian states and territories compete across the three day event at the Darebin International Sports Centre Velodrome from March 18-20, 2010.

Colin Smith Memorial Velodrome Opening

Friday, 5 March 2010

Ballarat & Sebastopol Cycling Club, Tuesday March 2, 2010.

CycleSport Victoria would like to congratulate the Ballarat & Sebastopol Cycling Club on the official opening of the Colin Smith Memorial Velodrome on Tuesday of March 2, 2010.

The Velodrome has been home of track cycling in Ballarat since the 1970’s, with numerous resurfacing taking place over the years.

This latest track resurfacing project, worth $350,000, was funded through a Federal Government grant of $280,000 in February 2009 and the Ballarat City Council, who contributed an additional $70,000.

This funding is in addition to a Victorian Government grant, which enabled to club to purchase 30 track bikes, enabling the club to provide a school based track cycling program to the community.

The club hopes that with the upgrade, the City of Ballarat will be able to attract more track cycling events.

A special congratulations must go to Roger Bade, whose tireless efforts to rejuvenate track cycling, both through the school based program, and development of the clubs junior program, lead to this project’s overall success.

2010 Athletes with a Disability (AWD) Para - Cycling Expo.

On Sunday February 28, DISC was host to the 2010 Athletes with a Disability (AWD) Para–Cycling Expo, which attracted a number of talented athletes keen to try track cycling.

The day began with a brief introduction to track cycling from paracyclist Noel Sens (Bendigo CC) addressing some of the issues associated with riding both track bikes and tandem bikes.

After this, the athletes were sized up, fitted with bikes and then challenged to ride on the track.  And by the conclusion of the session, all the athletes, including the tandem pairs, were able to ride laps of the track, and later progressed to standing starts.

"Today’s APC Toyota Talent Search was a great opportunity for potential athletes to get a taste for the sport of Para-cycling, with a number of participants showing real promise for the future," said Jake Hardiman from the Australian Paralympic Committee.

Leonard takes Melbourne Cup on Wheels

Monday, 1 March 2010

Urban Melbourne Cup on Wheels at Darebin International Sports Centre.

JUMP MEDIA RELEASE

In a consolation for his shock omission from the Australian squad for next month’s world titles, Victorian Joel Leonard has sent a message to Australian selectors by taking out the 73 Urban Melbourne Cup on Wheels at Darebin International Sports Centre.

Leonard took the one kilometre time trial title at the Australian championships in Adelaide earlier this month but was overlooked by national selectors for a spot in the Australian squad for the world titles.

In the most international final in the 73-history of the event six nations were represented in the 8-lap, 2000m handicap final, however it was the 28-year-old Victorian, Leonard, who wrote his name into the history books with a barnstorming ride.

Warragul’s Brett Rollinson (200m) and Blackburn’s Mark Slyvester (185m) took the minor placings.

Racing off 20m, Leonard worked hard with a large group to drag in the six outmarkers who at one stage looked like they might pinch the win.

However at the bell, Leonard made his move, bursting clear down the back straight on the final lap to take a convincing win.

“That washard, the hardest race I’ve done for some time,” Leonard said after the race.

“The last three years I’ve been close to national selection, but to win an Australian title and not get selected is ridiculous,” a clearly frustrated Leonard said after the win.

Meanwhile one rider who will be representing Australia at the world titles in Copenhagen next month, three-time world champion Anna Meares, showed she is on in good form, with a series of strong performances.

After missing the recent Australian championships due to fatigue from a heavy training load, Meares used the Revolution 6 event as a prelude to yet another world title tilt.

Meares took out the Degani Revolution sprint, holding off New South Wales Kaarle McCulloch and Queenslander Emily Rosemond in her first hit out of the evening.

To assist with her preparations Meares then raced alongside the men.

Firstly against the talented Nathan Corrigan-Martella who won the under-19 team sprint at the Australian championships earlier this month.  The under-19 rider took the win, retaining his pride and helping Meares’ preparations for Denmark in the process. 

Then Meares raced in a mixed keirin, which was won by Aaron Cooper but Meares flashed home to finish second after being blocked for a run for much of the final lap.

“I felt really good and I’m really pleased where I’m at at the moment,” Meares said.

“I really enjoyed that, it was hard and intense and they weren’t given me anything. That’s what we need.

“11.3 (seconds) for the (200m) sprint and 11.5 (seconds) for the keirin is the sort of level we need to get at regularly.

Australia is too far from the other countries so we need to think outside the box to find ways to challenge ourselves. So by the time we get to international competition we’ve got it sorted.

“I’m confident, excited and a little nervous”, Meares said thinking ahead to the world titles. “I know the form is going to be good but you just want it to go perfectly. All that hard work – the money’s in the bank and I just hope the bank is open on the right day so I can make a withdrawal.”

In other events:

In a warm up for the Australian Junior Team Pursuit Championships at DISC in March, the Victorian team of Evan Hull, Thomas Hamilton, Jack Cummings and Alex Morgan had a crack at the Australian under-17 record.  They clocked 3:21.589 to beat the National record of 3:22.859 set by NSW last year.

Invited grade riders battled it out for the inaugural $1000 first prize in the Norm Manskie Medal scratch race over 15 laps. Brent Nelson rode a strong race and held off all challenges to take the win, ahead of Darren Rogers and Rick Sanders.

New Zealander Shane Archbold captured a winning treble, taking out the SRAM Revolution Elimination race, backing up to win the Urban elite men’s scratch race.  He then returned to turn back teammate Tom Scully to win the Urban points race.

Victorian Jason Niblett reversed the result from Revolution 5 last December, taking out the Degani Sprint final, pinching a big break with a lap to go and outlasting 2009 Melbourne Cup on Wheels winner Josiah Ng of MalaysiaDaniel Ellis (SA) finished third.

Jaron Gardiner held off Emily Rosemond, Aaron Cooper shaded Kaarle McCulloch and Nathan Corigan-Martella accounted for Anna Meares in the Clipsal women versus M19 Match Sprint. In the men v women keirin, Cooper took the victory, but Meares impressed in second place after being blocked in for much of the final lap.

In the 2XU women’s keirin final the Melbourne-based Malaysian Fatehah Mustapha held off Victorian Apryl Eppinger. World championships silver medallist Azizal Awang made it a Malaysian double for coach John Beasley, taking the men’s keirin ahead of Jason Niblett and Daniel Ellis.

In the Teschner Future Stars events, Imogen Jelbart won the W17 Double Kilo dash, with Jack Cummings taking out the men’s equivalent. Evan Hull of Ararat won the elimination race to take the series and a $5000 Teschner frame. Jelbart did the same, taking out the women’s elimination to make it a winning double.
