Victorian state titles results follow. Mark placed 5th (by virtue of second in the B final) and one spot out of the main final. His score was really hurt by a "did not finish" in his first ride after he had been comfortably in the lead. In his second ride he was in front for three laps before James Holder pulled off the pass of the meeting to get by and pinch first. To be honest though the riders who had ridden in the UK in 2009 (Proctor, Woodward, Sedgmen, etc) were just that little bit sharper when it mattered. No way should Mark be too disappointed though, he was well on the pace and it was a good opporunity for him to find out exactly what level he is currently at.
Jason Doyle and Cory Gathercole were late withdrawls which didn't overly please the organisers
