Oceania Road Cycling Championships 2019

While most of the talk this weekend will be about the Novice Tour, and rightly so - we also need to mention that 2 of our young members are off to the Oceania Road Cycling Championships in Tasmania this weekend.

Bike Manawatu has 2 representatives with Connie O’Brien and Libby Arbuckle both in the u23 grade. Connie had a great result last year finishing in 3rd place in the U19 race.
The race is 105km consisting of a 26 km loop with a tough 10 min climb that is completed 4 times.
We also have Dylan Simpson riding in the U23 & Kyle Hoskin U19's Mens divisions
The race is this weekend, Saturday the 16th March this is the second time it’s been held in Tasmania.
Bike Manawatu would like to wish the girls the best of luck for the event.
Go Connie, Libby, Dylan & Kyle!!!!

Twenty-year-old Campbell Stewart has claimed his first elite rainbow jersey after victory in the omnium on the fourth day of the UCI Track World Championships in Poland.
The Vantage Windows & Doors Elite New Zealand rider produced a stunning display, lapping the field with Frenchman Benjamin Thomas late in the race which gave him a commanding lead.

Kirstie James finished fourth in the women’s 3000m individual pursuit. She qualified fourth fastest in 3:28.407 to earn a bronze medal match against Germany’s Lisa Klein. The German stepped up to claim the ride-off with James settling for a well-earned fourth place, while teammate Bryony Botha was fifth.
