Australian National Titles
Postby GAV!N » Mon Jan 04, 2016 2:18 pm
Who's your tip? It's a bit hard to pick at this time of the year. Not many races on, kind of the off season for most so it's hard to know who's in form and who's not.
Surely Rohan Dennis for the ITT. I'd be surprised if anyone can beat him.
Road Race? Hmmm maybe even Rohan again. He could do some serious damage on that hill. Caleb did very well last year and is form at Bay crits. If he's there at the end he's a real chance, as long as he doesn't make a meal of it like last year.
My outsider: Sean Lake. He's a machine in the one day races, now with Avanti things are really looking up for him. I'd love to see him snag it.

EDIT: just saw the women's results, Katrin Garfoot over Shara Gillow and Tiffany Cromwell. I've actually done a club TT where Shara was also racing, she lapped me .

You have to feel sorry for the riders with no teammates, such as Simon Clarke & Jay McCarthy. Even Dennis and Porte will do it tough with just the 2 of them. On the numbers OGE would have to be favourites with Gerrans and Ewan, but Hausler managed it last year with just the one teammate

My pick - Gerrans will boss OGE for the win.

It's not often that a "boring" solo breakaway win is so compelling - he literally destroyed the field single-handedly.

I gave you 2nd on the line with the ever smiling GG third.I'm going to have a good view this year as I'll be driving chief comm car.
Great ride from Bobridge with the best looking bike in the race too. Fantastic effort by Pat Lane on such a hard day.

It was a brutal race. Bobridge and Lane were superb and Bobridge was on another level doing 15-min laps. Only 15 riders finished and 112 abandoned (or were withdrawn).Uncle Just wrote:I gave you 2nd on the line with the ever smiling GG third.I'm going to have a good view this year as I'll be driving chief comm car.

Porte was dropped twice and he gave us a big grin each time as we slowly drove past. Great to see that OGE can no longer dominate such a race as they had been able to in the past.

Surely would have to be serious embarrassment for OGE, the entire team defeated by a single rider. Didn't even make the podium - in fact I think Gerro was the only finisher.Alex Simmons/RST wrote:Great to see that OGE can no longer dominate such a race as they had been able to in the past.

But yes, it is something you are definitely mindful of when following riders at close quarters for a total of 285km of racing in a day. There are definitely special techniques and driving skills for managing vehicles in a bike race. It's a dynamic living organism, and the work that goes on by the commissaires to manage the race and race convoy vehicles is non-stop. If officials and their vehicles are not noticed, that's generally a good sign.
