As always these races start out at a torrid pace. Attack after attack until someone gets away. Photo courtesy of ProCycleImages

The AIS (Team Jayco Skins) young guns rode superbly today to soften up Pollock after repeatedly attacking him in the hills.

I was chatting with Dylan Newell before the race and he tells me he’s badly out of form.  I wish I could be as “out of form” as Dylan!

Women’s Race

I’m very sorry but I wasn’t there for the women’s race this morning.  I got there just in time to see Jo Hogan smash the feild today and ride across the line solo to become the 2010 Victoria State Champion.  High five Jo! If any women are out there reading and want to send me an account of what happened feel free to email me and I’ll post it.
