Garmin-Cervélo rider takes Australian road title
Garmin-Cervélo’s Jack Bobridge stormed his way to the green and gold of the Australia national champion jersey, winning the biggest race of his young career from a whittled-down break on a daring solo move.
South Australian Jack Bobridge put in an amazing performance to win the elite national road race in Buninyong on Sunday. The 21-year-old Garmin-Cervelo rider showed his class by soloing for 30km to take the coveted green and gold jersey, 37 seconds ahead of Matt Goss (HTC-Columbia) and Simon Gerrans (Team Sky).
“Anyone would say they would love to be the Australian open road champion, so to get one is absolutely fantastic, I am over the moon.” said Bobridge after the race.
Bobridge’s win meant that Garmin-Cervelo keep the national jersey in the squad for another twelve months following Travis Meyer’s victory last year.
