The Murray Bridge 24-hour Pedal Prix race was an awesome display of resilience, teamwork and driving skill. Full of thrills and spills! Regardless of where individual teams finished the race or series, all boys should be proud of their efforts in this gruelling sport.
Special mention to Vector for their second placing in the race and third overall in the 2023 Australian Human Powered Vehicle Super Series.
