Amber Pate<\/strong> destroyed the field in the Australian Women\u2019s Criterium Championships <\/strong>as she soloed to her second national title in the event and secured her second medal in two days in Perth.

Liv AlUla Jayco<\/strong> headed into the race as the team to watch, boasting a strong line-up that included two former winners in Pate and defending champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon<\/strong> alongside the debuting Josie Talbot<\/strong>.
\u00a0
It was a typically cagey start to the action until Pate shook things up with an early counterattack. Only U23 rider Keira Will reacted to the move with the pair quickly opening up a sizeable gap as they worked together to build their advantage.
\u00a0
The duo began to edge closer to lapping the field as the peloton failed to organise a significant chase with Pate\u2019s teammates patrolling the attacks behind. Then with the rear of the bunch almost in her sights, Pate launched solo, accelerating away from Will to come within touching distance of the pack.
\u00a0
With the catch now inevitable the race organisers made the decision to shorten the race and as the peloton sprinted for the minor places, Pate was able to savour the moment on the final lap.
\u00a0
The victory means the criterium title stays within GreenEDGE Cycling<\/strong> for another year with Pate and Roseman-Gannon sharing the spoils over the last four seasons.

<\/span>“I\u2019m really happy, honestly. I\u2019m just glad to pull it off. I knew I could go long, but I didn\u2019t know how long I could go for, I\u2019m a bit tired from the time trial, but I knew I had a long attack in me and I just thought \u2018let\u2019s get fighting, corner well and recover in the corners\u2019.
\u00a0
I\u2019m really proud to pull it off for the team, the team were really awesome, we all went in with the right mindset, anyone of us could have won today. I thought let\u2019s crack on early, it will help the team, it will help the pace.
\u00a0
It just worked out really well today, I decided to commit early and I had Keira with me, who is now the under 23 champ, she\u2019s a fantastic rider and it worked out perfectly today. To keep this crit jersey with our team, I\u2019m really stoked.\u201d<\/em>
