Junior under 19 rider Brodie Catterick was consistent to win Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s Summernite Cycle World Stage Race No1 at Fairhall last Wednesday evening.
The riders encountered warm and wet conditions and competed in a 6km, 11km and 10km stage. Stage one followed a course from Wither Hills Winery to Paynters Road, Benmorven Road and finished up the Morven Lane climb. The whole field almost remained intact until the climb when Catterick took the win from Callum Saunders and Jeremy McKenzie. Stage two completed the Benmorven circuit, went into the Ridge Resort and then finished on the Fairbourne Drive climb. The stage was a win for junior under 17 rider Quinn Karwowski, over Saunders and Catterick. The final stage took the riders out to Godfreys Road before turning to finish back at Wither Hills Winery. With the field splitting at the turn, six riders were clear to contest the sprint home. Karwowski was again prominent to win from Gerard van Antwerpen and McKenzie.
The overall classification went to Catterick by 4 seconds to McKenzie and another 8 seconds to van Antwerpen. The sealed handicap was extremely close with only 4 second separating the first five riders. McKenzie (20s) won by 2 seconds to Graham Henderson (2m30s), another 1 second to Ray Dustan (30s), and another 1 second to Leatham Landon-Lane (1m) and Ben Verhoef (2m30s).
