The Sid Patterson GP/Melbourne Madison attracted some big names in international cycling, with the race the first of a track racing double header in Melbourne, Australia.
Riders came from afar to take part in the event, with New Zealand’s Hayden Godfrey returning from injury to race, while German duo Leif Lampater and Christian Grassman returned to compete on Australian shores.
New Zealand’s Mark Ryan won the first of the night’s main events, taking out the Sid Patterson Grand Prix title. Ryan won the event from fellow scratch rider Lampater while Australia’s Stuart Vaughan took third place from 145 metres.
It was again a battle between Ryan and Lampater, plus their respective teammates, in the Melbourne Madison. Lampater and Grassman took the race win with 35 points to the 28 of Ryan and partner Tom Scully. Another all-Kiwi pairing in Godfrey and Shane Archbold took third place, however the duo was a lap down with 18 points.
Many of the riders taking part in the Melbourne Madison will return on Saturday evening to DISC for the Revolution 6 track event.
