The qld boys were overtaken by SA just before the end. Mitch also rode brilliantly in the 40km Points race, who was in the most important move of the race joining a strong group including winner Bobridge that lapped the field collecting 20pts. points race highlights on SBS Owen won Bronze in the U19 Madison with Jesse Kerrison.
