Americans target Australian Madison championship

Two American teams have entered the Delaware North Australian Madison Championship at Vodafone Arena this Saturday, February 5. The American team pursuit squad, consisting of Gui Nelessen, Bobby Lea, Josh Kerkhof and Mike Friedman, have spent the last two months training in Tasmania ahead of this month's Sydney World Cup and are keen to impress in their first hit out in front of the Melbourne crowd.

Nelessen and Lea will ride as one pairing in the Madison, with Friedman and Kerkhof the other, and based on recent race form experts believe that Nelessen and Lea are a chance of winning this event.
