Alex Baker, our youngest and most successful rider to date took
the Juvenile field by storm as he went off at blistering speed, splitting the
field apart on the first climb with only two riders able to follow. Two
crashes mid lap gave him extra work to do but after one of the group had a
mechanical problem it was just Alex and Ryan … who were locked together as they
came down the big drop off and entered the arena side by side as the crowd went
mad waiting for a spectacular sprint finish. Alex took the final corner
wide before powering to the line and winning by a wheel length to make it his
first victory in the National series and one that will live long in the memory!

So then, that was a good start to the day, could the rest of the
team follow Alex? Well there was brave efforts from Nat in the Youth
category who picked up a good 23rd place, Paul in the Elite category
who struggled home in 25th, Matt in the Masters who took another
impressive result back with 20th and finally Brodie, still
struggling after a winter virus who took 23rd in Sport.
