Dom Dudkiewicz ends in style

GUN sprinter Dom Dudkiewicz finished the Footscray Cycling Club’s criterium season in style with victory in the final Agrade race at the VUT Circuit in Hoppers Crossing on Saturday.

In what is becoming standard fare for the Agraders, competitors set an impossibly high pace from the get-go to stretch the peloton to breaking point, and within 10 minutes Dudkiewicz made a break for it.

In the dying stages, Paul Anders put in one of his trademark ‘do or die’ attacks, but Lachie Doak and Marco Duys reeled him in, leaving Dudkiewicz in perfect position behind hard-driving James Love to win the sprint from Trent Derecourt and Shaun Gatter.
