After the first 2 of the Banks Thargo South West series races .
Laurie Paltrgidge from Port Fairy currently holds the leaders jersey as Laurie place highest on both days for his 29 points.

TO SEE LEADER BOARD CLICK ON 1 COMMENTS BELOW THIS POST.

The winners from each race both did not finish the other event relegating them to equal 5th with 25 points.

As the board shows it will take a few more events to break up the leaders, currently there is 29 in the top 10, that will change as we progress into the 15 events.

Unfortunatelly we have only had 2 female competitors at this stage, anne hocking wears the leaders jersey in the females section just by completeing her respective event.

To get the jersey consistency is the key, and as the "Travelling" Starts it will be interesting to see
how things pan out.

Cheers & See you all at the Camperdown Classic on April 10th

**WITH 13 MORE SOUTH WEST SERIES EVENTS THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF EVENTS TO CATCH UP WITH THE CURRENT LEADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glen Cook & Greg Gleeson

A successful start to the Banks thargo South west series was held at Warrnambool on the weekend.
With Fine weather mid 20's and slight winds conditions were ideal for good racing.

The Glen cook held on saturday the 13th of March saw a field of 57 starters.
The field was divided into 5 large bunches and a smaller bunch of 3 on limit.
The course Framlingham Forrest then 4 laps of the falls circuit.

in the early stages of the race it looked as though the fourth scratch bunch or the 3rd scratch bunch would get up.
Both Bunches were working well and holding good speeds, as were the back markers.
Third Scratch caught the 4th scratch bunch and held the rest of the field off for the win.
Matt Lane (WRN) took line honours closely followed by Richard Schilling (MTG)
Scratch crossed the line soon after with David tozer (PTF) taking fastest time.
final placings; 1 Matt Lane wrn, 2 Richard Schilling mtg, 3 Roland Evans ham, 4Larry McArthy wrn, 5 Wayne hately cpd, 6 Mark Hyland wrn, 7 Nick Lee, 8 Clive Coomber wrn, 9 Laurie paltridge ptf, 10 Geoff Mclaren wrn. Fastest David tozer ptf.

41 riders turned out for this event and the field was divided once again into 6 bunches.

The course Wangoom-Warrumyea-Falls-Wurrumyea-Wangoom.

Things looked very similar to theprevious days racing with the exception of the 4th scratch bunch gaining strength with the inclusion of Scot Noonan.

once again the 4th scratch bunch & 3rd scratch bunch looked like the two most likely bunches to get up.

3rd scratch picked up the next bunch about the same time second scartch and 3rd scratch came together, however the outmarkers had held enough time to take the win.

Cris Jehu from colac was the form sprinter in this bunch and took line honours.
