ROUND 1 -- DETAILS
RACE 1 - Wednesday 15 September 2021

WESTERN CHAMPS WIN OVERALL
The pace was on in A Grade, with the strongest field to ever race one of the Renshaw’s Pedal Project Events. Riders from all 4 major centres in the Western Division (Bathurst Dubbo Orange and Mudgee) racing for overall victory.

In the end it was the current Western NSW Esports champions Luke Tuckwell of Orange (& Bathurst Club) and Kate Spicer of Dubbo that took overall victory in the open men and womens events.

Luke Tuckwell set up his win with an attack in the final 2kms of the event which brought all 4 Dubbo Riders (Kurt & Dylan Eather Simon Heppell and Spicer)to the front of the pack to chase. In an impressive display Tuckwell hung on for victory infront of the fast finishing Nick North who is continuing to improve after recovering from a recent injury. Third was a dead heat between top young cyclist Dylan Eather (Dubbo) and Cadel Lovett (Bathurst) with Race One winner Mark Windsor (Bathurst) and Dubbos Simon Heppell rounding out the top5 overall.

Western Regions top ranked rider on the road at the last two regional Road Championships Kurt Eather (Dubbo) was next to finish. It was an impressive display by Eather who may not have won but put out almost 350watts average for the race, which is very close to the record for an RPP event.

Craig McAlister (Bcc Vic) Cameron Arnold  (BxCC) and Stuart Renshaw (Bathurst) rounded out the top 10 in A Grade, with a special mention to Craig McAlister who has rapidly climbed the ranking from C Grades only a matter of weeks ago to establish himself now in A Grade.

Runner up in the recent Overall Men Western NSW ESports Title Mark Windsor took-out the Green Sprint Jersey in A Grade recording 24.20sec to defeat Dubbo pair Simon Hepple and Kurt Eather.

Stephen Jackson shows his experience in B Grade:
Bathurst most experienced ESports Cyclist Stephen Jackson put in a personal best performance to win B Grade in the Weekends RPP Lockdown Cycle Race. Jackson recording a very fast 27min 43sec to defeat Western Region Female Champion Kate Spicer of the Dubbo Cycling Club.

Ray Thorn (Bathurst) is the big improver in the sport, finishing in 3rd place in B Grade winning a 5 ride sprint to the finish, defeating Bathurst team mates Steve Bennett, Luke Gilmer, David Reece and Jack Cannon, with only a handful of seconds separating the 5 riders.

Bathurst club rider and current Western NSW C Grade Champ Paul Jones (Victoria) took the Green Jersey in B Grade after a blistering sprint, recording 24.03sec to not only win B Grade but set the fastest time overall.
Meanwhile recent gold medallist at the Western NSW ESports Titles in the B Grade Female Category, Jenn Arnold was again the top Female performer in the grade.

Mudgee Win the C Grade Event
Mudgee rider Jeff Frank certainly got under the handicappers guard in the weekends C Grade Lockdown race, Frank not only winning c Grade but finishing Top 10 overall in a super time of 27m37s, the performance will mean he is likely to go straight to A Grade from C grade.

Seb Hanscomb of Dubbo rode well to finish 2nd in C Grade in front of former Bathurst coach Mick Marshall (now of Illawarra). After winning D Grade at the last the last Lockdown event Mick Robinson (Bathurst) showed he is well up to C Grade finishing 4th infront of Adam Young (AHDR). John Curley (Dubbo) taking 6th place in front of Peter Wilson (Bathurst) and current Western NSW D grade male champ Gary Baker.

Jeff Frank also won the Green “Sprint” jersey recording 26:42 to defeat Adam Young (AHDR).

URGENT!!
Will trying to get more invites out - But can people not riding who have an invite decline so we can move that invite to some of the riders who have missed out.
