A stark contract to last year with riders enjoying shorts and T-shirt weather, on a fast and flowing course that got grippier as the day went on. Both Women's and Men's current Elite Aussie Champs were victorious in their respective events with Bec Locke (Vic) and PACC's Tommy Chapman (main pic c/ Turn8 Photo) looking like he did it easy. J19's were won by Maddie Wasserbaech (PACC) in a breakthrough 'cross win for her, and James Stamp (Brunswick CC).
