The Queensland State Champs were held on the Mount Joyce track which featured the usual rock gardens, sweeping turns and pedalling! The biggest concern was about the weather.
Saturdays practice was held in wet conditions with rain falling throughout the morning, by the end of the day the track had started to dry out. By Sunday the track was dry. The Elite Mens field was heavily stacked with some big names, interesting to note some of the riders took their chains off for seeding runs! When the chains were put back on this is how it finished:
1. Brandon Yrttiaho
2. Rhys Willemse
3. Lindsay Klein
4. Liam Paiaro
5. Ben Power
It is also worth noting Tracey Hannah did a time that would have placed her 15th in Elite Men, look out for her overseas next year!
