Under 19 men

Dirk 12th
Richard 14th

Paddy 37th

That's a great result getting two riders in the top 15 and beating most other countries from the southern hemisphere ( could be all I'm not that good on my flags)
Richard was one of the last to qualify but showed real consistency and determination not to be just satified to make the team but to get that result as well. Hope he can repeat the effort next year with one year left in juniors.
Not sure what happened to Dirk in the first lap but pulled it back as the race went on. Still those top euros are quick. Well done to all.

Good stuff guys!

Gosh and they were quick too! Only 6 minutes back from the winner!

The album has been started and the photos are in.

Congrats to the NZ young-uns for some top placings.

If anyone wants original hi-res photos, send me a PM with an email address which will take 10MB attachments.

Here they are (well, they'll all be up by midnight AEST).
