Northern Criterium at National Boulevard on Sunday 13th July 2025

posted in: Latest News

It was a back straight finish today into a strong chilly Northerly that greeted todays larger than normal winter crit field of about 65 riders.

John Hiatt’s first race in A grade ended with a win after a brisk 48.4 km/h final lap with a leadout from Tom Leaper ahead of Peter Chester and Scott Gregory.

In B grade, David O’Keefe got away with a late attack that finaly stuck ahead of Xavier Coppock with the rest of the field some 50 seconds back with Luke Markof emerging from the pack to take out the bunch sprint comfortably.
