Round 5 Renshaw Pedal Project Bathurst Road Series
Bathurst’s Tour de France star Mark Renshaw started the field in the weekend’s penultimate Round of 2020 Renshaw Pedal Project Bathurst Road Series.  The cold windy conditions resulted in a number of withdrawals from the event which was held in the very tough Rockley Loop circuit.
Olivers Racing has dominated the A Grade in the 2020 series with Will Hodges winning the first 4 rounds. Hodges couldn’t race on the weekend but Oliver’s Racing continuing there winning way with Tom Bolton defeating Mark Windsor in the A Grade race. The pair recording a good time considering the almost gale force winds that where buffeting the course.
In B Grade, hill climber Will Lesh attacked early on Rockley Mount and rode strongly to record an impressive win over David Reece and Scott James, followed-in by Brian Draper and Ray Thorn.
Nicholas Barrett and Phillip Stapleton broke clear in C Grade but had Robert Stephen and Toireasa Gallagher chase them for the entire event. In the final stages of the race Nicholas Barrett was too fast for Stapleton taking the win while Robert Stephen was third in front Toireasa Gallagher who was the top performed female rider on the day. Mick Foran defeating Bryce Stacker, Glen Carter and Rod Esdaile for 5th.
David Hyland continuing his good form in D Grade defeating arch rival Rosemary Hastings, behind the leaders Gary Theiss recovered to defeat Peter Hickey for third.
