So long sucka!
Europe may have it's 6 days of racing, but even they can be like watching WWF at times as the same names keep on winning.

Scripted?

Who knows - but the O'Shea / Howard combination continue to win because they are leagues above their competitors - who are champions in the their own right.

National champions, Olympians, World Champions, and some hot local talent all decorated the field.

A clean night of racing with no crashes - just a good hiding dished out to the field.

What better way to finish the night with spectacular fireworks!

Bendigo put on a great party.

Check it out.

An amazing event indeed, you have captured the essence of the night from both sides of the fence. Racing at an elite level is all about the 1% details, you are the only photographer that looks beyond the full frame finish line shot to show us these details.

I agree - Great photography - except for the headline cover photo - couldn't you have edited out the scary looking guy in the background?

Fantastic event and a real treat to see those young guns really hammering it up out there - watching how those riders all rode made me a bit dizzy with thinking how much more they could possibly improve when they ride like that now! My cycling spectatorship future is ****ured...and thank's for capturing it so well in your lens!

Looked like another hard and fast Bendigo madison! That race can takes years off your life. The first I've missed being at in 12yrs (10 racing it) but it will always be the best day of track racing here in OZ!!! Super job of capturing the feel of bendigo madison weekend TC!!

Also the first shot of the old timer placing bets is Bill Dove, ex-australian olympic cyclist from 1960 or 64 I think it was, still racing the vets!
