The Oceania Championships were wrapped up when the road race honours were decided in cold and wet conditions in Gore. Australian Michael Matthews made it a double when he took out the overall men’s honours over 113kms, to follow his performance in winning the under-23 time trial in the overall fastest time of the day.
With a number of defections, Matthews proved too strong to hold off Southland’s Matt Marshall with Alex McGregor (New Zealand) piping Southland’s Patrick Williamson for third.
