I
f you think that the pro cycling season is confined to the month of July, you need to check out the race reports at Team Garmin-Transitions' redesigned site. Written by team directors, staff and the cyclists themselves, these recaps provide unparalleled access to events around the world. For example, young Aussie Cameron Meyer chronicled his second consecutive points race title at this week's Track Cycling World Championships in Copenhagen, where countryman Jack "Jacky Bobby" Bobridge took bronze in the individual pursuit.
"That was the most unbelievable feeling! I went into the race
confident that I could defend my world title but to have the rainbow
jersey for another year is a just a dream come true," Cameron wrote just hours after winning. "I knew the race would be very fast for the first 50 laps and the
sprints being very hard to win. I was very relaxed for this part of the
race, saving energy, knowing that the second half would be where I could
win.
"With 80 laps to go I knew the other riders were very tired and I
still had a lot of energy left," he continued. "I started to make my moves and took a
lap with a group of riders — then I went again for a solo lap. With 30 laps to go I knew I had too many points to lose the race so I
just had to mark the other riders. I rode the last eight laps on the
front and celebrated my second world points race championship. I am a
very happy Garmin-Transition Australian and hopefully more medals to
come in the team pursuit and Madison!"
