bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup Race Two Report
Hayden Nelson took the fight right up to Cameron Swain and really made him work for his 25-points on Sunday morning. The pair both ran low 1m17s in the race to pull away from the rest of the pack and battle all the way to the line where Swain got the win by a nose.
The battle for the final step on the podium was a three-way affair between Levi Russo, William Hunt and Marcus Hamon with that trio finishing in that order.

Damian Cudlin – OJC Coordinator
“Obviously we saw some great racing up front, including a photo finish to determine the winner of Race 3! The satisfying part for me though was to see how much all the riders had improved since our two-day training camp at Winton. The difference between the slowest and the fastest rider at Winton ASBK was 15-seconds a lap. Here at Wakefield it was five-seconds. That’s great progress.”
