Thursday, 14 March 2013

Defending champion Paul Odlin (NZL) and Australia's Taryn Heather (VIC) claimed the elite time trials at the 2013 Oceania Road Championships in Canberra on Wednesday.

In wet and slippery conditions, Odlin prevailed in the 40km men's event over Ben Dyball (NSW) by less than three seconds, with team mate Joseph Cooper finishing third.

Heather had a more convincing victory in her 25km time trial, finishing almost one minute clear of Grace Sulzberger (TAS) and Ruth Corset (QLD).

Reigning Australian champion Damian Howson (SA) claimed the honours in the under 23 category, with his Jayco-AIS World Tour Academy team mates Campbell Flakemore (TAS) and Adam Phelan (ACT) rounding out the podium.

In the under 19 events Tom Kaesler (SA) and Emily McRedmond (WA) were victorious.
