Australian rider Victor Ian Murray French finished second in a grueling race from Nowra to Sydney with a narrow gap behind winner Traian Angelo Catalano.

The event featured mountainous sections and a pivotal 120 mile leg, with Cataniolo failing early after a crash but quick to remount. French’s strong performance comes after only a month of training, including a ride to Bourke for the start. Cowan claimed the B and SIC grade titles elsewhere in the meet.
