Pell claims Scotty's race
Australia's leading road cyclists turned on the pace in race honor of cycling protégé Scotty Peoples at Shepparton today. Bendigo's David Pell brought home the honors in a tightly contested battle that saw contestants average 45 kilometres an hour in near perfect conditions.
Commonwealth gold medalist Sean Finning crossed the line a split second behind Pell in second place. Crossing the line seconds later were third placed Jacob Sutherland, fourth placed Peter McDonald and Tim Dekker, who finished fifth.
The five riders led a star studded field including former Australian Champion Will Walker of the Rabobank Team and current Australian road cycling champion Darren Lapthorn.
Pell, who frequently trained and raced with Scotty Peoples, is at the peak
of his career
and rides with the Savings and Loans Team.
Scotty was a talented young Shepparton cyclist killed tragically in a road accident in December last year. The inaugural's 'Scotty's Race' was being staged in his honor by family, friends and the cycling community. His younger brother Rick was among the competitors in the race.
Ian Maher, from Cyclesport Victoria, said the field of 188 riders was the best to ever assemble in Victoria for a graded scratch race of its kind.
Staged in conjunction with the Shepparton Cycling Club and endorsed by Cycle Sport Victoria, the race drew top fields in the Men's A, B, C; Open Women and J 19 grades with riders vying for total prizemoney of more than $5000. Riders in the 126km graded scratch race set out from the Queens Gardens in Shepparton racing through Violet Town, Nalinga and Shepparton.
Upon winning, Pell immediately donated $250 of his $1000 in prizemoney to Shane and Wendy Peoples to be added to the Scott Peoples Memorial Foundation while Sean Finning tipped in his total prizemoney of $600.
Race convenor, Adam Furphy, said the event was a fitting tribute to Scotty. Race commentator Matt Keenan, who has called races all over the world including the Tour de France, said Scotty's Race was far better organised than most events of its kind and the caliber of racing was outstanding.
