Bay Crits – Win number 3 for Ewan
Caleb Ewan wrapped up his third Bay Crits title with a third victory in four days, Lampier 12th in final race
21-year-old Caleb Ewan has wrapped up a third Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic title with another victory in Williamstown today. Ewan, who also won back-to-back on the opening stages in Geelong, becomes the second most successful rider of the 26-year running event, behind Australian sprint legend Robbie McEwen (6 titles).
A dominant ORICA-GreenEDGE again controlled racing on the final day, former Australian champion Luke Durbridge and debutant Jack Haig denying any attempts to break up racing. “Look – the boys again, I always say it, they were so strong,†Ewan said. “They rode the whole race on the front. They were so impressive.â€
“Luke and Jack rode the front the whole time. Even at the end, they could up it still. Keeping me up near the front makes it a lot smoother for me so I can save a lot of energy. At the end of the race, I was feeling really good because of the position I was in. They delivered me perfectly.â€
After a solid lead out by multiple track world champion Alex Edmondson, Ewan hit the final corner in front and sprinted to victory. Despite taking the corner at speed, Ewan used experience to better his rivals who battled fiercely for his wheel. “I thought I braked enough going into it, but as I was going through it I was thinking, ‘Oh gosh. I’m going a bit fast’ but I got around it alright,†he said.
“I had a little gap coming out of it. It’s not far from that corner to the finish so you really have to go through it in first place to win here.†.
Britain’s Steve Lampier was 12th whilst in the support race, Stevie Williams was 5th to give him fourth overall in that series.
