100-KILO CYCLING

Stockwell Too Powerful

•J Showing the benefit of his re- : i “ nt . intensive training, B. ' I Stockwell (Papanui) had too much power for the rest of the , P?, ld ln the Canterbury 100- i d K °’? i etres r ? ad dyvling champ- ; “ ionship on Saturday ' ’ ,« Sto s we , ll and R ' J - Hogan i ■ (Auckland, formerly of Canterc bury) made an early break , II and fought out the rest of the i t race. Stockwell beat Hogan by < l ' ad ,?, ut a f° ot the final sprint. . , „ lh ,® race started at Shands , t Road, Hornby, at midday, and ’ finished there after 2 p.m. after i the riders had followed a course to Lincoln and return, with a i- three-lap block at Lincoln. ? M. Litolff (AVon) gained third t place when he won a final a sprint by five riders who had i been chasing the two leaders I for much of the race. Behind i Litolff were J. Mullan, R. Bush, c W. Thorpe, and I. McLean. s The race was won oh a sealed f . handicap by G. Ireland while f s Stockwell was fourth. Hogan* a and Stockwell were the only t » contestants to ride from scratch, f Because he is registered with i the Auckland centre, Hogan was f t not eligible for a Canterbury s I championship placing and Litolff c t was awarded second place. I I Hogan is travelling south to* the c » Southland three-day tour which n 3 will start later this week. . After coming third in the . New Zealand junior 50-mile championship at Auckland last . week-end, the young Papanui rider. J. Mullan, was again able ; to produce his best form for ; fourth, edging out the two 1 veterans, R. Bush and W. Thorpe. Unless he decides to ‘ ride in the Southland tour the championship was Thorpe’s final . cycling race. Results:— 1 B. G. Stockwell (Papanui), ■ 2:18:5, 1; R. J.
