How the Race Unfolded.
Very little wind and a lovely fine day made for great racing conditions.

Limit lost a rider early and stopped to help, losing a lot of time which put them out of the race.

The scratch bunch struggled all day, with several riders either lacking training or having riden a hard race the day before, which allowed the solidly performing middle bunch to win by a good margin.

Edwin Irvine took out the sprint easily from Drew Heard and Dean Hayward.
