The Conclusion played out like a true theatrical drama. Act I: D+C Grade handicap: Scene 1: “The roll out” • D grade started @ 9am with D1 following 1 minute behind • The D1 group was determined by any rider who had scored points in the Kooragang or Calga round of the CERVELO master series. This format was repeated for all grades. • C grade started 3 min 15 sec behind and again C1 was a further 1 min again.

However, Derek Craig (Central Coast) was too powerful to be overhauled • In C Grade four riders had a go with Silvio Terran’s (Lidcombe) tactical nous on display to pop out of the sprinters draft in the last meters.

The first two riders were able to walk away however Peter was not so fortunate. • Peter had sustained some significant injuries and required an ambulance. • I wish all three riders a speedy return to racing, I have visited Peter in hospital and he is in surprisingly good spirits despite the substantial pain he is in.

(https://scontent.fsyd3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37278898_1878151405539532_6537380647638401024_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=e82aa44b944022e779c71e9b38ab2b6f&oe=5BD04230) Scene 5: “The mergers” • D1 closed in on the D grade bunch within about 4 laps (20 minutes) the C1 grade group took a little longer however by the 30 min mark we had 1 x breakaway and two large bunches. • It wasn’t till the 55-min mark that the C grade closed within 1 min of the D graders thus announcing the moment when the long course was changed to the short course (drag-strip only). This was done to avoid a large bunch going through the tunnel and technical corners of the long course. • By the 1 hour mark the bunches had come together however Cull and Martin still had a significant lead that was easily enough to win in regulation time.

Postrace he was a lot more understanding of the situation. • The bell was given as soon as the ambulances were clear of the course, this was 12 minutes after the scheduled bell time. Scene 7 “The finish” • After so must drama the finish itself was a little innocuous, with Abe Martin easily out sprinting Roger Cull and significantly Matty Green won the bunch sprint. • The minor places would determine the overall series in both grades.
