McQuaid Takes Bastion Crit - Victoria
We just received a report that Melanie McQuaid has won the womens' Bastion Square criterium in downtown Victoria. McQuaid, Clare Hall-Patch and Marnie Prazsky broke away almost from the start of the 45 lap race, and lapped the field with 3 laps to go. McQuaid: "Clare did a really strong attack early in the race, then Marni went, and then I attacked and bridged up to Marni and we both went up to Clare." Just as the trio were catching the bunch, Alison Sydor and Gina Grain attacked off the front - meaning that they were the only two riders that were not a lap down. McQuaid took the win, ahead of Hall-Patch and Prazsky, with Grain outsprinting Sydor for fourth. "Clare had a really good line down the right side of the field, and I followed her and then went by in the last 100 metres." said McQuaid. The men's race is just about to get underway.
