Kimberley Wells (High5 Dream Team) has defended her MyState Launceston Cycling Classic crown in style, saluting the sky after beating Sarah Roy (Orica-AIS) and team-mateKendelle Hodges in front of large Launceston crowds.
The national criterium champion positioned herself perfectly on the final climb, sprinting away to finish just ahead of a fast closing Roy.
“It is really great to take the win today in the green and gold,” exclaimed Canberra-based Wells, who is also a qualified doctor. “I launched relatively early on the final climb. I took a moment or two of respite around the ‘peanut gallery’, as they were calling it, before I shot for home. It was really great out there today.”
