Cameron Meyer put his well-honed time trial skills on display in the elite men's criterium at the Mars Cycling Australia Road National Championships. The Western Australian established an early solo lead after countering a move made by his brother Travis Meyer and managed to hold off the field for 26 laps en route to his third elite national title - his first in the criterium.
"It's another special win," said Cameron. "Obviously to win any Australian championship is special. I'm a little surprised as the criterium is not my forte.
