Cameron Scott gave an impressive performance in the Under-23 men\u2019s criterium surpassing Dylan Sunderland who took silver. Scott\u2019s ideal debut for his new Continental Squad Australian Cycling Academy was definitely a hard punch for his teammate, Sam Welsford who was only able to take bronze.<\/p>\n

Scott, 20, has been working really hard to follow the footsteps of Alex Porter and Caleb Ewan as he\u2019s continuing the trend of emerging talented, new track riders.<\/p>\n
“I saw we had a pretty good gap over the bunch and I was taking hard turns up the straight and recovering on the downhill,” Scott said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was always watching for Dylan Sunderland, I know he’s a dangerous rider, and I was waiting for him to make a dangerous move. We have a couple of strong riders for the finish with Toby Orchard and Sam Welsford as well and a few other guys who are climbers and can mix it up a bit in the breakaways. We’re initially looking for a sprint finish but I found myself off the front with a few guys and had a teammate with me so we rode with that and changed our plan a little. We just had to be smart about it.”<\/p>\n
