State 100km Road Championships Wandi - 8 August 2010
A fine and sunny morning greeted riders and supporters alike at Wandi to-day for this staging of the State 100km Road Championships. The morning may have been fine, but it was very cold with the temperature dropping to 2 degrees. Never the less 73 riders greeted the starter for 12 laps of the 8.5km Wandi circuit.
Riders warmed up quickly and at the end of the 2nd lap 4 riders, Paul Watts, Peter Griffin, Shaun O’Neil & Andy Brierley had opened up a 1 minute lead over the peloton. After the end of the 3rd lap the lead had increased to 1 min 30 sec. This was the biggest it was to get and over the next 4 laps the lead varied between 45 secs and 1 min 10 secs. Clearly the peloton had the break covered and after 7 laps it was all over.
After 8 laps a group of 10 riders opened up a 20 sec gap, but at the completion of 9 laps this group settled down to 6 riders, Sam Smith, Sam Davis, Matt Irvine, Greig Watson, Elliott Wells and Dean Gathercole and they set about building on the lead that they had established. The gap grew to 50 secs after the 10th lap and then was 1min 40 secs at the bell. A strong effort by the peloton reduced this to 40secs at the finish. Results follow.
