Camperdown Classic

The final event in the South West series, the "Camperdown Classic" was held on the 3rd of october 2009.
The event a fitting final for the South West Series, a demanding course with a finish more suited to the Climbers and stronger riders.
The climbs ath the final few km's of the event up Sadlers road and Caravan park hills decided the placings for the event and ensured if there were to be a sprint it would be only a very select few contesting the win.

The field was divided into 5 bunches, and as with all of this years South West Series events the marks set by the handicapper were well set.
Although the outmarkers broke up the remaining bunches stayed together and worked well

The entire field had not come together with only 5km to go but scratch and second scratch had the leading bunch of 4 riders in their sight.
Dispite a gallant effort from these outmarkers including series leader Stuart Robinson second scratch had the strength to close that gap and Luke Agget from Port Fairy took line honours just catching in the final climb.

Placings, 1st Luke Agget Port Fairy, 2nd Travis Greening , 3rd Rohan Creed, 4th Roland Evans, 5th Stuart Robinson, 6th Laurie Peak, 7th Grant Oats, 8th David Tozer, 9th Simon Walsh, 10th Laurie Paltridge.
