Track Cycling Feilding

 

An excellent nights racing between the 23 riders that rolled up tonight. It was a stellar night for weather and the by the time the four riders went for their respective flying one lap records the wind had dropped completely. The highlight of the night was the breaking of three track records. First was to Lachie Ferguson who shaved 0.07 seconds off his own under 17 boys record by travelling the distance in 27.33sec. Second up was Kate Stewart who took 0.18sec off her under 15 girls record, riding 32.54sec and then Megan Blatchford completely smashed Catherine Cheatley’s senior women’s record, taking off a massive 1.8 seconds to record 27.92 sec. Well done to all 3 riders!!!

In the under 17 and under 15 grade races three riders stood out on the night, Liam Barber showed improvement and used his good handicaps well to record a 1st and a 2nd Kate Stewart rode well to record two 2nds and sprinted particularly strong to sprint the bunch home for second in the long 7 lap handicap. Josh Kendall rode well off the scratch mark on his own to pull the field in the 4 lap and 7 lap handicap races showing his strength and will be a rider to watch in the future.

In the A and B grade the feature race of the night Matiu Kaihau showed his class, just recently returned from Oceania Track Cycling Championships in Australia, to ride from scratch and to win ever so comfortably. Damien Lardner, who gave his finest performance ever on the Feilding track, being the only rider to go with Matiu for 3 laps only to be dropped with just over 2 to go, but managed to hold on for 2nd: while Megan Blatchford capped off a fine night by sprinting the bunch home for third.
