Shane Kelly tonight claimed his first Australian 1km Time Trial crown
since 1996 in a blistering time at the Track Cycling Australian
Championships at Sydney's Dunc Gray Velodrome.
It's only the third time the 32 year old from Ararat in country Victoria
has won the national senior crown (1991, 1996 & 2004) despite the fact
that he has claimed a kilometre medal at every World Championships he has
contested since 1993 including three gold medals. His time of 1:02.832 was
well outside his personal best time (at sea level) of 1:01:356 which he
rode to earn silver at last year's World Championships in Stuttgart,
Germany but is the fastest he has ridden in Australia since the 2000
Olympic Games where he claimed bronze in a time of 1:02:818.
Wollongong's Ben Kersten did well to claim the silver medal after a mishap
on the start line saw his handlebars slip, impacting on his momentum out
of the starting gate in an event that leaves no room for error and is
traditionally decided on the merest of margins. Kersten rode 1min03.184sec
with Victorian Adrian Sansonetti (1min05.905sec) taking bronze.
