Race report from Cameron Meyer
I am very happy to have won my first elite championship. For the past six weeks it was my goal to win the green and gold jersey. I prepared well through December and am looking to continue some good form into the road race on Sunday, as well as the Tour Down Under coming up. Yesterday’s race went all to plan and at half way I was in the lead, but by only a small margin over Milram rider Luke Roberts. I had a strong second half and ended the race 30 seconds ahead of the second place getter. It will be a huge honour to compete in Europe this season wearing the Australian champion’s colours and one that I am very much looking forward too!
This Sunday is the road race championship and our team has a very good shot at taking the title. With Jack Bobridge, Matt Wilson, my brother Travis and I all having good early season form we will for sure go in as one of the strongest and favourable teams for the race. We each have great strengths for this course and hopefully can put in a great team performance for a gold medal.
