Tristan Saunders of Team Brennan p/b TP32 secured a victory in the Squadron Grafton to Inverell Classic, the fifth round of the ProVelo Super League. He outpaced Zachary Marriage from Butterfields Ziptrak in a fiercely competitive 228km race characterized by challenging climbs through the Gibraltar Range. Teammate Brendon Davids finished third, ensuring a strong showing for Team Brennan. The series leader remains Jack Ward's team despite his absence from this round. The season culminates in the Queensland Q Tour, offering a stagiaire contract opportunity for the under 23 champion.
In the middle section after the top of the climb we were just all over it. We wanted the race to keep going as long as we can to stop CCACHE and Cam Scott from getting back and we did that perfectly.
It came down to a dash to the line between Saunders and Marriage, with Davids and William Cooper then coming over the line three seconds further back.
Jack Ward Team Brennan remains at the top of the overall and U/23 ProVelo Super League leaderboard on 381 points despite missing the Grafton to Inverell.
The debut season, where a stagiaire contract with Jayco-AlUla is up for grabs for the under 23 victor, concludes at Queensland's four-stage Q Tour from March 21-23.
