Oceania champion Katelyn Nicholson (Butterfields ZipTrak) claimed a solo victory in a windy version of the Lochard Power Warrnambool Ladies’s Vintage on Sunday after driving off the entrance by myself for the general 40 kilometres of the race.

There was once no longer any other rider in sight when Nicholson crossed the road however she by no means actually let herself imagine it would all be sewn up till she hit the completing instantly.
The first group in the race, that was this year also delivering the second round of competition in the new ProVelo Super League, came across the Raglan Parade finish line just over three minutes back from Nicholson. Keely Bennett (Duda) led the charge to take fourth with overall and under 23 series leader Talia Appleton come across the line in fifth and, as a result, maintained the top spot overall with a tally of 217 points, just 1 point ahead of Nicholson.Â
