Stage 2 report The weather forecast for Sunday was miserable to say the least. However, upon our very early morning arrival we were greeted by; let’s say …… “glum” conditions. It was cold, windy and damp but not freezing, cyclonic and bucketing down which the good weather folk had predicted.
In terms of the conditions being suitable to record breaking times, they definitely were not.
• Air pressure = 1018 (not good)
• Air temperature = 12 c (Bad)
• Humidity = 63 c (average)
Punching this data along with an altitude of 205m (Calga) into the air density calculator it puts the needle firmly in the red (BAD!)
The NRS riders started before 8pm prior to 100+ ATTA-nsw regulars. They copped the coldest and windiest part of the day but still managing to set the fastest times of the monthly Time Trial. DHUEZ racing had targeted this stage along with the Team Time Trial (stage 3) in the lead up to the series. Sporting three former or current National Time Trial (age based) Champions they certainly had the pedigree to succeed, which indeed they did placing three riders in the top 4 positions.
Dhuez racing’s current National Pursuit Champion (Ben Neppl) won the day in a time of 34:24 (for 25km) 8 seconds ahead of NERO KOM financial Advisors, Chris Miller. Dhuez also took out the ITT GC classification 1 min 10 sec clear of NERO KOM financial Advisors and even further in front of third place St George NRS.
