Bendigo & District Cycling Club Road Racing 16 November 2008:
Tommeken On Top the Day After
Tom Southam rode to a solo victory on a windy lumpy Junortoun circuit on Sunday. Despite only a few minutes sleep and a night of heavy drinking Southam attacked the remaining five riders with two and half laps and about 15km to go and was simply too good. Today’s ride bodes well for the Pirate from Penzance; next weekend Southam will be trying to trump his gutsy ride around the streets of the Bendigo in October last year and take out the John McLean Criterium.
Wes Steel and Micah Leske were the winners in B and C Grade.
