Australian national cross-country Champion Dan McConnell and Niki Fisher claimed the respective men’s and women’s honours on a blustery stage one of the 2010 Cape-to-Cape in Western Australia.

Chris Jongewaard and Josh Carlson claimed the men’s podium positions, while Bec Henderson and Claire Albury finished second and third in the women’s race.

The race kicked off from Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse with a field of more than 400 riders lined-up for the 40 kilometre first stage. McConnell and Jongewaard set the early pace as they moved out to a 30 second lead after just four kilometres. The pair worked together to consolidate their lead through Augusta Forest.

They remained together until Deepdene Beach, where McConnell was able to negotiate the boggy sand better than his rival. Despite Jongewaard’s best efforts to catch his former companion after coming off the sand, McConnell was able to hold on for a one-minute victory at Dune Tracks.

The chase group behind included Josh Carlson and Shaun Lewis, who sealed third and fourth place. Local rider Rowan Brown put in a strong performance in the lead group, the 16-year-old finishing inside the top-ten on the stage.

In the women’s race Niki Fisher finished four minutes clear of Bec Henderson. The result is a good sign for Fisher, who is aiming for her third successive victory at the four-stage race. Claire Albury and Katherine O’Shea finished the stage several minutes behind the leaders.
