Group 1 was given a 2 minute start over group 2 with Jim Coleman chasing on his own a further minute behind. Group 2 soon caught group 1 but it took Jim the full 30 minutes to catch group 2 and he just had time to open up a small gap before the finish with Adam Ellis leading home the bunch sprint for second. |
