BY COLIN THORSEN

Bike Manawatu teenager Campbell Stewart gave a hint of his prodigious future by slashing a whopping one minute 11 seconds off the race record in week eight of the Spoken Cycles Summer Series in Te Awamutu. Stewart covered the 26km out- and-back course around Mt Kakepuku, starting and finishing in Bank Street, in 32.47 minutes, easily eclipsing the old record previously held by Hayden McCormick who is now riding professionally for the One Pro Cycling team. The A graders were reaching speeds of 70kph as they headed out towards the mountain. Overall A grade summer series leader Josh Kuysten placed second and Kiaan Watts third in the same time as the record-breaking winner. Ten of the A grade field of 27 finished inside 33 minutes.
