🚴 GCC Club Championships Results 🏆

Well done to everyone who lined up for today's Club Championships!

The weather was spot on, with only a slight breeze that seemed to have a mind of its own and change direction whenever it felt like it. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

We had enough riders for two grades of Championship "scratch" racing... although some may need to revisit the definition of scratch race! 🤪

Both grades featured a good mix of steady turns on the front and plenty of attacks, with nobody quite able to make the break stick.

In the end, the sprinters 💪💪 came to the fore, with the podiums looking like this:

🥇 A Grade Champion

Matt Smith

🥈 Ben Jones
🥉 Margaret Conroy

🥇 B Grade Champion

Mitch Harrison

🥈 Peter Stockwell
🥉 Tony Jones

Most importantly, everyone finished safe and sound and enjoyed the post-race coffee ☕ and catch-up at Bertoldo's. 👌

A big thank you to our volunteers who made the day possible:

🚗 Commissaire / Follow Car: Steve Bertoldo
🚗 Lead Car: Robert Minato
🚦 Traffic Control: Michael Wynne & Bron Jones
🪧 Signs: Pete Stockwell & Michael Wynne

Enjoy the week off from racing, freshen up those legs, and get ready for the ITT on 25 October. ⏱️🚴

Cheers!

🏆🏆 Yoogali Cup Results 🏆🏆

Well done to everyone who took part in today’s scratch races for the Yoogali Cup.

With enough riders for two grades, it was an easy decision to run both A Grade and B Grade for this long-standing event on the GCC calendar.

A Grade consisted of:

🚴 Mat Smith
🚴 Andrew Ritchie
🚴 Felipe Ortega
🚴 Craig Tilston
🚴 Peter Budd
🚴 Andrew Stewart (visiting from The Gong)

B Grade featured a strong mix of experienced campaigners and emerging talent:

🚴 Mia Stockwell
🚴 Steve Bertoldo
🚴 Frank Signor
🚴 Tony Jones
🚴 Michael Wynne

The bunches were released separately, with B Grade rolling off approximately 10 minutes before A Grade in an attempt to minimise the chances of the groups coming together. As it turned out, A Grade caught B Grade at around the halfway mark.

In A Grade, the race was ridden more like a handicap (40kph av) , with the pace on from the outset. Despite several attempts, no rider was able to establish a strong enough break. That meant it would all come down to a sprint, and with 750 metres to go, the sprinters were setting themselves for one final crack at the win.

In the end, Mat Smith took the victory ahead of Peter Budd, with Felipe Ortega rounding out the podium.

Over in B Grade, the race was contested with a little more tactical awareness, and it was shaping up to be an intriguing battle between youth and experience.

Frank Signor decided to go all-in, launching an early attack. But, much like Fremantle yesterday, "Wharfie Time" kicked in, and Mia Stockwell came over the top to take the win by half a wheel, with Tony Jones completing the podium.

A special mention goes to Michael Wynne, who was inadvertently left on the start line (the handicapper probably deserves an uppercut 🥊). Michael set off in pursuit, chased down the bunch, and was still there at the finish. A tremendous effort! 💪🏼

A big thank you to Rob Minato (Commissaire) and Pete Stockwell for traffic duties.

A great day of racing and plenty of fun, as always 😜

👏 Congratulations to Mat Smith and Mia Stockwell, our Yoogali Cup winners for 2026! 🏆🏆
