Club Criterium Champions Decided
20/03/2011 Riders turned out in unprecedented numbers for the club Criterium Championships on Saturday. With medals up for grabs in age group categories some different looking bunches eventuated. First away were the Open and U19 race. This was a race within a race with the first Under 19 rider awarded …
Prestidge And Tambassis Win Again
12/03/2011 Lurking in the shadows near the start finish line is a rotund little man with thick glasses. He speaks to no-one during the race. He watches his charges go round in silence. He has done his talking in the leadup to the race. Getting into the feeble mind of …
Maiden Wins For Tambassis And Heard
05/03/2011 The first race win is always a special occasion for cyclists. For George Tambassis it was even more special as he has been finishing on the podium but not winning his entire cycling career. The bridesmaid tag was not sitting well with Tambassis. It was a strong C grade …

Prestidge’s Plan Pays Off
29/01/2011 This is a mainly tongue in cheek report. After a week away in Adelaide watching the professionals race, Jayman Prestidge, a perennial loser of bike races, hatched a plan; a plan to win his second race in two years. The plan involved a change of tactics and attitude. No …
Pros Turn Out For Warragul Race
22/01/2011 While some riders were inspired by watching the pros going around in Adelaide in the Tour Down Under some stayed home to watch the pros on the TV and missed the club race. A couple of WCC’s own pros made a rare appearance at a club race. James Henry …
Hot Criterium Racing Continues
15/01/2011 The A grade group of 15 riders stayed together fleetingly. Shane Stiles and Brenton Jones seemed keen to jump around like peanuts right from the start. The first time up the King St hill they put 100 meters into the field and managed to hold that advantage for much …
