Glenvale Crescent Criteriums Oct 29



A big weekend for Team Promains, mainly due to celebrating the engagement of Athony Smith and Catherine Allen, which wtill did not stop the team fronting to the Sunday Morning Race. Whilst Australian National Road Champion, Russel Van Hout, and South Australian Criterium Champion, Chris Luxton were in town to celebreate, the two also came out for a 'local' sunday morning hit out! Attack after attack were launched off of the front of the 75 Rider Field, non of which were to stay away, due to the strong chasing by many! So a bunch kick was on the cards. Normal break away man, Anthony Smith tried his luck in the sprint, coming in for a second positon, to up and coing junior Sprinter Pete Johnstone.

Glenvale Criteriums October 15th 2006

The second A Grade Criterium of the 06-07 season proved to be a fast 67 Rider Filled Group! Half into the race, and after many attacks had been brought back. Damon De Angelis managed to get in a break with Ex-Olympian Robert Crowe, Local Favourite Warren Knevvit in an escape of 6 riders. Getting well clear of the bunch with big turns by all, it came down to a cat and mou se game in the final lap. With De Angelis Jumping away in the second last corner whilst being surrounded by Track Sprinters, it was not until the line that Crowe shoved past in the gutter, making it a close top 6 places:
