Melbourne’s fickle weather brought almost wintery conditions to Sandown tonight, with a very cold and very strong southerly wind making things tough for riders. The only successful break came in A Grade, with an early move containing proper hard men like David Sturt (Cycling-Inform), Justin Davis (O’Mara Cycles), Vaughan Bowman, Tom Leaper and Brent …

Emerson Harwood Gold and Jacob Schmid Silver in the U19 mens sprint. Great credit to all the Victorian Team. To Hilton Snr and Carl Brewer who train the sprinters your hard work again achieves results. Speaking to Hilton this morning Emerson, Jacob and Zac Shaw will most likely ride the U19 Team Sprint. I know …
