Bendigo & District Cycling Club

Emu Creek - Gooseneck - Emu Creek road race, Sunday, September 9, 2007

Courtot holds out Aussie champ solo

Another lovely spring day greeted Bendigo’s competitive cyclists for a hit-out of the traditional Gooseneck circuit, taking in the rolling hills of Mandurang, Sedgwick, Axe Creek and Emu Creek. Vanessa Courtot started solo and rode strongly to take out the win.

Petar Benjamin did a sterling job of handicapping with Vanessa finishing only three seconds clear of the motoring scratch bunch. From the start the five minute bunch looked to be making the race. Scratch began slowly but after Snake Eye they really hit their straps and flew. And not surprisingly either; with current Australian Road Champion Darren Lapthorn and perennial local heavy hitter Dave Pell making a world-class duo that were taking no passengers.

The scratch bunch brought the race together on the Telephone Exchange hill and the pace was on in earnest with Venessa Courtot playing the dangling carrot. Vanessa held on to the line for a great win ahead of Dave Pell and Josh Gundry.
