Day 1 Sydney Christmas Carnivals.

 by Lizane Willmot

After all the hype, the racers did not disappoint. Women's field had 3 grades, with 2016 being the year of the junior. All the U17's 19's and newly graduated elites have developed into some classy riders. A grade was fast. As the ladies smashed the warm up scratch there was gusts of wind inside the velodrome. This kind of wind is usually only felt in the higher grades of the dudes. B grade looked like last years A grade, masters, elites, juniors, fast! And C grade was a fantastic mix of old favourites and new to the sport riders. Kudos to the para athletes mixing it with the main field.

Standouts in the rest of the racing are, the new guy ( Jake Van Der Vliet, Sunshine Coast CC (QLD)) off the front in c grade! Dude! You're doing it wrong, only win by a bit. Welcome to B grade.

The wheel race was well handicapped, with the middle front markers getting up on the podium. And Cuffy! Yew! Awesome run from a long way back to take out the race.

Special mention goes to the rider in the white skinsuit (sorry I was too busy laughing to catch a name) in the B grade winners race. You went for the first sprint, tried to hold on for the next, thought about the third and he was never to be seen again! It was a valiant effort and great entertainment.

Drama in the keirins with old mates Gav and Browne having a cuddle in the final corner.

And young gun sometimes sprinter, sometimes roadie, all round awesome munchkin Thomas Cornish pipping big Ben Young on the line. Ben lead it out almost perfectly, but the run Tom took from a long way back just generated too much speed. Well done Tom

There were 2 Madison's to finish off the night. The ladies choice was fast, smooth, and competitive. The A grade Madison with the dudes, not so much. It was thrilling for not all the good reasons. But that's the beauty of this series, cobwebs day 1, world class racing day 5.
