Tri-Series Team Racing Fun

The 2017 Tri-Series kicked off today at Dereel with a great showing from Team BSCC. Due to the strength of Ballarat numbers in A & B Grade the riders were split into 3 even teams. The revised format made for fun and tactical racing on a challenging course which most enjoyed. In A Grade, Liam White, Tim Canny and Paul Myers broke away early with the remainder of the field attacking each other in an attempt to bridge the gap on their own. The B Grade race saw Paul Humphries and Dan Bucknall breakaway but Matt Freeman worked his butt off to bridge across before blowing himself up. It was great to see some old faces back racing like Phil Orr and Will Geor.
​16 C Grade riders raced in the traditional Tri-Series format with Geelong and Colac riders taking it up to Ballarat. In the end, Geelong rider Nick Ianham out sprinted Pete Canny and Matt Dickinson.
​Ballarat's rising star Iesha Humber took out the D Grade race in an impressive display of cycling.
Thank you to Steve Kennedy and Matt Dickinson for setting up, Sam Smith for chief marshalling and our sponsors Finn Business Sales, Sovereign Park Motor Inn and SJ Butler Financial Planning.
