Sophie Edwards (Butterfields Ziptrak) and Oliver Bleddyn (Team Brennan) have clinched overall victory at the Harbour City GP on Sunday. Edwards also swept up the pivotal Queen stage of the fourth round of the Hertz ProVelo Super League but for Bleddyn second on the final day of racing behind stage 3 winner William Heffernan was enough to not just claim the GC win but also the top spot on the League Leaderboard.
In the 101km stage for the women Edwards crossed the line ahead of series leader Sophia Sammons (Team Redcat), who kept her top spot on the League ladder, and two seconds later in the split up women’s field it was Isla Bradbury (Nstrmo x Attaquer x CCACHE) who claimed third in the drizzly conditions.
“Literally in the first 5k, I rode up to one of my teammates and l was like ‘jeez this is just like racing in Belgium’ – so technical, bumps in the road, really narrow roads, twisty narrow descents, it was raining – it was crazy,” Edwards told broadcasters SBS after following up her Warrnambool Women’s Cycling win with victory in New South Wales.
