World Champion Wheeler and State Madison winner Ensor showed their class in taking out the Men’s Newcastle Permanent 60-lap Madison, with the pair producing persistent attacks and well-timed sprints on the points laps to score the second annual Madison crown, which was contested in high winds and trying conditions.
Second placegetters Mitch Hines and Sam Fitzgerald were the only team not to lose a lap in the 60-lap event, with the team of Dylan Eather and Zac Fuller in third and Danny Barber and Trent Hines finishing in fourth.
Fuller set the tone for the Women’s Newcastle Permanent 30-lap Madison from the outset, attacking from the starters whistle and making her opponents chase her and team mate Farr down and despite the efforts of the other teams, the pair were able to keep the bunch at bay for the majority of the event to take out the Women’s Madison title.
The team of Jennifer Raines and Michelle Fuller finished second with Helen Hines and Zara Fuller combining for third placing.
