Team QUON Olympic Sprint World Championships
QUONlo Cycle Arena, Saturday October 21
The second running of this event featured easily the strongest field seen in a Canberra cycling event for many years. A cramped local calendar saw a clash with the Corin Classic cycling event, but no self-respecting QUONner should ever do a real race on the weekend anyway.
The visionary format was designed for the sort of spectacular racing not usually seen at QUONlo (the CCC would be well served to copy and implement it themselves). It is based on teams of 4 made up of an A grader, B grader, C grader, and a D grader (or Paddy). With teams racing off pursuit style in an Olympic Sprint format.
The racing as expected was amazing, giving the other stunned track users a close-up lesson in Euro-lactic style racing. On such days of pure sporting elegance and power it is easy to see why the track was named after Team QUON.
After a qualifying round and 2 semi-finals, the first place race off was between Uncle Halvo's barbie dolls (Halvo/Spud/Robobo/Cuddles) and the Lactic snot bubbles Uber/QM/GTE/Gary Codkin). With Halvo making short work of it and leading his babes to the quickest time of the night (6:37), destroying a team badly hand-picked by the QM himself.
The last place race off saw Mongo tort me everything i no (Liam/Stomps/LBF/Walks) forced to skull beers due to a crushing loss at the shaved legs of Mitchi luvs Myfie (Beagle/Mouldy/Rads/Paddy) a team badly hampered by a below par Beagle.
The other 2 teams were so lacklustre they deserve no mention.
Best and fairest: Cuddles as the only member of the winning team not on a free Trek bike.
Worst effort: LBF for beer drinking performance issues.
No shows: Scotty Rocks and Tandoori (no wonder there is an Elder’s re-evaluation process currently going on).
Paddy prays to the lactate gods

Why didn't you race tho smitty
But i just wear the kit, i dont ride with you guys ever. So leave me alone to do my own rides instead of thegay shambles and the hot.
Is shane radnell still in team QUON? If so why is he not in the appropriate kit?
THIS POST WAS CLEARLY NOT WRITTEN BY DOMINATOR.
Where is the great old bulls to weigh into this one?
Surely Beagle & Radnell are both acting contary to the code of conduct
Radnell has dispensation due to once making Mick Rogers a cake. Beagle is no more a sponsored rider than Mongo ever was.
Did Randwicks parents buy him a new bike at last??
