Tuesday Night Heffron - Trophy Race 2024
The riders delivered a race worthy of the first Monument of the season - the 47th Easts Trophy Race. With a block head wind, that was so strong a trailer got gone blown onto the course it was a race for the hardest and strongest of riders.
In a three man breakaway of Brad Mills, Chris Miller and Mic Cupitt - it would be Brad Mills, a rider who has been trying to win this race since 1999 who would emerge the emotional and triumphant victor.
In the B and C handicap, C Grade would always struggle in the wind, even with a large field and it was the inevitable catch by B Grade with a only a few laps remaining. Initially it was Leif Ingwersen who made the solo catch but he was brought back into the fold and then a number of riders tried their luck including Luke Cruikshank with two laps to go. However it was the last lap attack from Mr 40 Seasons - Greg Rule that caught everyone by surprise. Fate would be cruel and he would be swept up in the finishing straight by a fast finishing Ben Glastonbury who would take the win, ahead of Greg Rule and Adam McCoy.
Amanda Poulsen of Team Bridgelane was the first woman home ahead of Nicole Oh and Nicole Wilson, while Nico Love collected his first, first C Grader home. See you all on January 21, 2025 when Tuesday Night 2025 Pointscore commences.

Week 8 Season 40 Tuesday Night
Переглядів 435День тому
The huge fields across all grades represents the fantastic racing that is happening in Season 40. In Week 8, it was the rider of Kurt Eather of Cache CC who continues his memorable season with another dominant win, as A grade swept all before them in the final handicap of 2024. This week the young riders continued to impress, particularly the debut ride of Hannah Gianatti of Penrith CC. Harvey ...

The clouds rolled in and the rain threatened but it never delivered and instead it was Adrian Pelegrin who was first over the line as B Grade caught, controlled and then outsprinted C Grade for the victory. The small A Grade field was always going to struggle to make up the deficit against big numbers in B and C Grade and they were relegated to fighting it out amongst themselves when it became ...

The wind made its first big appearance in Season 40 after a rather subdued start to the season. With the wind blowing it would decimate the large fields with only a selection of riders making it to the finish.

It seems that order has been restored with A Grade making the catch and Kurt Eather of Cache CC emerging victorious. With enormous fields across all grades, it seems that this week that B Grade rested on their laurels while it was C Grade who perhaps shook up the field until they were caught with just under two laps to go. The young riders continue to impress in C Grade and so we dive in with A...

The early season results have been dominated by B Grade, who in Week 4 made it three wins in a row. It seems that C Grade found their rhythm this week as they pushed for victory right until the final laps. In fact it was first time C Grader Leif Ingwerson who lit up the race when he attacked solo with only a few laps remaining. Liam Goltman and Tobias Aubrey Poiner of B Grade set off in pursuit...

The riding was super fast on Tuesday night, with a large field of 44 B Grade riders setting out to push maximum watts to ensure B Grade took the win for the second week in a row. Sure enough they gobbled up C Grade in near record time and would hold off A grade who only managed to latch onto B Grade in the closing moments. Come and join Alexis Kaless, John Sunde and Vaughan McVilly as we look a...

While the B Graders rode strongly, they were somewhat disadvantaged by a small handicap this week, even against a small A grade field. As a result it was all set up for an A Grade showdown.

    Wanted to add Cameron Fraser's launch across to B grade was impressive. He then found himself in the wrong lane at the supermarket, stuck in the melee of B grade as the A graders took the express lane in the wind with 2 laps to go.

    From inside C grade's perspective: I think it was the second last lap going over the pimple, C grade had pulled back several others that had also gone off the front slightly somewhere during the lap prior, and Leif was still off the front by a bit of a margin. I was a little bit deeper in the field at the time, and the pace went out after the other couple of riders had been brought back in (I recall orange knicks). I got to the front and told them they can't sit up. There was some of the usual lip service back, but the damage had been done by then. B grade's massive bunch came through (possibly home straight and through turn 1) and Leif as an escapee from C grade, was never caught. Great ride by him for the second place. And the Winner also going off the front of B grade. That's impressive.

    Really enjoy the coverage of these events guys. Some serious cycling ability floating around at heffron. Is there a legit reason why the track hasn’t been hotmix resurfaced? The amount of new roads that get done around Sydney, it seems odd that they could just do a simple short circuit like this

    • @artson71b
      @artson71b Місяць тому

      It is often promised. Be aware there are two camps, The resurface camp: Less punctures, more enjoyment, less damaged equipment and mostly (hopefully) better drainage. The Leave it camp: Part of the mystique of Heffron is that it is a shit track. It even has a Belgian style join right down the centre of the front straight. You wouldn’t resurface the d’Arenberg Forrest. The thing that sways me is that it would be faster (it already is super fast) and crashes at higher speeds could be worse.

    Great episode. I pinned on a number for the first time in a long time last week to get a bit of a better look at C-Grade and see if we can put in a few of our new girls and guys from Hydraplay, who are a little less experienced and ... maybe a bit scared in the final weeks for some experience. C-Grade rode like ridiculously in the opening laps in my view, Happy Wheels were guttering it down the straight and putting everyone in the red .... and then Alexis when you attacked understand the frustration but 'what the' ... every time I rolled toward the front someone was chucking it in the gutter ... or attacking ..... the data doesn't lie - across (slight) head wind on the straight and we averaged between 2 to 11 kph faster up the front straight (in front of the crowd with "hero Pulls") than we did down the back. Lap 1 - AVG 38.3 Final 200m 45.8 Lap 2 - AVG 39.1 F2 42.5 Lap 3 - AVG 37.5 F2 49.6 - 12kph faster As the tall Happy wheels dude whacked it in the gutter - i was 4th wheel here and redlining Lap 4 - AVG 38.5 F2 39.7 ... the only time I rolled through 🙂 Lap 5 - AVG 37.5 F2 45.8 - The Alexis Attack and then chase Lap 6 - AVG 36.1 F2 39.3 - My heart rate was at 98% of max hahahaha Lap 7 - AVG 39.3 F2 54.1 and B grade catch us At this point I pulled off the road at my car on the hill and watched from the side lines. Note I am massively over weight and way out of form so maybe if this was the start of the season and i had another 4-5 weeks to drop some more kegs and bring the leg speed back I would have been able to roll through. and then actually be there to help Robbie for a few laps when B caught but the legs and lungs had other ideas. Thus you can ask people to "roll through" but I was looking around and everyone was redlining and switching to recovery mode as we turned into the tailwind .... so praising riders at the front for doing the work while you have one or two rolling into the front four as we hit the straight guttering it for the hero shot is maybe not the right message for C-grade ... The broader race - Robbie was pat malone with no team mates on Tuesday so I think he was amazing (i am bias) but CPCC rode beautifully and Benny G's (the real one) full lap pull to close the gap to Ben Coates was amazing and Him and Tom Hyde rode super strong and set up the armchair ride for Simpson to finish it off. Impressive and Simpson will be hard to beat now with a bit of confidence and wind in the sails .... Jacks Sprint was definitely the highlight of the night in my view. the chase down, the poise, the timing and the throw. Can wit to jump on the mic with you, Alexis, and try and live up to the standard of Crafty, its going to be fun. We could glue our hands infront of A grade ala protest style to make them wait longer lol

    You’re spot on Crafty. We didn’t actually attack B grade - a gap just formed because many weren’t willing to work. Once the gap was there and knowing we had three riders willing to work consistently we just kept pushing on to maximise our chance of getting to the end. It may have seemed a bit odd but that south easterly did some strange things to the bunch, particularly heading into and around the squircle!

    • @artson71b
      @artson71b Рік тому

      The damage was done in B grade well before your trio left the shitshow. On my recognisance lap (@ 5pm) I noted it was going to get hard on the first turn off the straight and there would be no relaxing until you turned back on to the front straight. Due to the cross head wind in the straight, if the front (of bunch) put it in the gutter - there would be no recovery for the weaker riders. Hence, a lot riders were thinking "I am suffering here" and "ain't no way I can do a turn" , thus commencing the shitshow.
