Youth riders were to the fore on the opening day of the Lion Foundation national club road cycling championships in Wanganui today.
Taranaki’s Michael Torckler, competing in the under-23 division, proved fastest man on the day in the time trial.
He clocked a superb 52m35.8s for the 40km test to take out the under-23 honours by more than a minute from Morrinsville’s Eliot Crowther.
Torckler also outperformed the senior field, finishing 23 seconds faster than the winner, Aaron Strong (Counties Manukau).
Levin’s Gemma Dudley, a multi medallist in the recent world junior track championships had to work hard to edge out Tauranga’s Courtney Lowe by just five seconds to win the under-19 title in a slick 23m01s for the 15km event.
World junior representative Michael Vink (Pegasus) produced a superb ride to edge out fellow internationals Alex McGregor (Otago) and Jason Christie (Tinwald) to win the Under-19 men’s honours.
Vink clocked a superb 31:49.91 for the 25km journey to win by 34 seconds.
Marlborough’s Bronwen Fraser gave the Cuddon Club a boost with victory in the senior women when she out-performed Southland’s Dale Tye, clocking 35:36.5 for the 25km test.
The road races begin tomorrow with elite women on Saturday and elite men, featuring Beijing Olympic medallists Hayden Roulston, Jesse Sergent and Sam Bewley, on Sunday.
