Punishing climb spreads the field in Round 10 of National Club Cycling Esports Series

A constant uphill climb and changing surfaces stretched out the field in Round 10 of the AusCycling National Club Cycling Esports Series last week.

Cyclists completed two laps of the picturesque 13.6km “Chain Chomper” route on the Makuri Islands map that features an elevation gain of 184m over 5km and a gravel section at the top of the route, with bike choice playing an important tactical role.

Bonus points were awarded for the two KOM climbs and the sprint finish on each of the two laps, with points also accumulated for overall finishing position.

Christopher Ball (Randwick CC) dominated Men’s A, posting the fastest time in three segments and finishing with 142 points, 23 ahead of second place.

Marjan McGarry (Randwick CC) backed up her Round 9 win in Women’s A with another victory in Round 10, while Brett McMurtrie (Waratah Masters CC) denied David Nicholas (Bathurst CC) back-to-back wins in Men’s C by a single point, 120-119.

Other winners of their respective categories included Nick Spratt (Waratah Masters CC), Glenn Moorby (Vikings CC), Ella Falzarano (Bathurst CC), Sarah Holslag (Gold Coast CC), and Julie Speight (Bathurst CC).
