Rob Hucker (Elite Men) Gary Lewis (Supermasters Men) and Tasman Nankervis (Under 17 men) took out the state jerseys at the 2011 Victorian State XC championships held on the 13th November at the Cavagna Rd Track.
A field of 108 riders competed for 17 jerseys on the 5.5km single trail course, which included some new rock droppoffs (Niagra). The weather was great and assisted in a great day of racing, the most dramatic being the battle for the Elite Men jersey. At the start of the race Hucker, AJ (Adrian Jackson) and BJ (Brenton Jones) set the early pace by gaping the field on the first lap. During the third lap BJ began to feel the early effort and was gaped by Hucker and AJ, who went together for the next 2 laps with only seconds separating them. On the last lap Hucker had a "off" but was able to climb onto the bikeand put in a great effort to catch AJ and pass him on the last climb to win by 50metre at the finish line.
Congratulations to all club members who tested themselves against the best riders in the state.
