Wow, another Avanti Classic wrapped up and what a great event it was. It was fantastic to see Grant Irwin (Ord Minnett) take out the event on an Avanti Team Corsa in a closely fought finish. Adrian Booth (Merida), Steven George (Velo) and Mark Ledgerwood (2XU) rounding out the top 4 in the battle for the line.

You can view the full length photo finish here.

Grant Irwin also took home the cash bonus for smashing the race record by a almost 3 minutes. The action wasn't confined to the top 4 however with 166 riders finshing the event proving road racing is going strong at all levels right now.

Everyone at Lifecycle and Avanti appreciates the great turn up and support we received for this event and look forward to seeing you all there next year.

We will have more photos online soon but in the meantime you can download the race results here.
