Jayco Bay Cycling Classic

Jayco Bay Cycling Classic
Stage 1- Eastern Gardens
The team of Bec, Sarah, Chloe, and guest riders Miffy Galloway and Chloe Hoskings rode well. The aim was to set up Chloe Hoskings for the sprint. An attack at 3 to go meant that Chloe McConville burnt up all her lead out legs chasing it back and it was left up to the other remaining girls to help out. Not all went exactly to plan with Chloe Hoskings finishing just out of the top 10, but some positive aspects were taken out of the race.







Stage 2- Portarlington
By far the toughest circuit of the Bay Crits, an early crash took out some big names, with Belinda Goss breaking her collarbone and our rider Chloe Hoskings coming off and snapping her brand new team bike. The tough circuit took its toll and only 15 or girls finishing the stage. Unfortunatley none of our girls finished. The stage win was taken out by Tiffany Cromwell in a solo break.





Stage 3- Ritchie Boulevard
The hot-dog circuit is one renowned for crashes and some really tough racing. Definitely the best result of the racing for us so far with Bec finishing not far out of the top ten and Chloe Hoskings bagging a 2nd in a sprint finish. The win was taken out by Rochelle Gilmore (Honda Dream Team). A big thanks has to go to Paul Beretta for sourcing a new specialized bike for Chloe to race on.







Stage 4- Williamstown
Last stage = some tired legs and some girls who really wanted to keep The Honda Dream Team from a clean sweep. Racing again was fast paced with the Jayco team throwing down everything to make the Honda girls tired. Chloe Hoskings again did the team proud with a 3rd place behind fellow HTC highroad team mate Judith Arndt and Rochelle Gilmore.





Overall:
Chloe Hoskings 5th place GC
