Five in-a-row for Lacey
The Aquablue rider, in his home race, was the man to watch among the bumper 225-rider field but no one could match him down the finishing straight.
Lacey had been part of a five-man breakaway that surged clear of the peloton after 60 kilometres and before the last climb outside Castlemaine, he, along with breakaway companions Olan Barrett (Aquablue), John Dempsey (Iverk Produce Carrick Wheelers) and the aforementioned O’Brien and Fitzgerald, stretched their lead to over a minute.
