YOUNG gun Travis Meyer was a runaway winner of the Elite Mens Road Race at the Scody Australian Open Road Championships in Ballarat last week.

The 20 year old held a 31 second margin over David Kemp after a first lap breakaway of 10 riders.

He was purely dominant but surprised after the win.

“My first ever road national title and to do it in my first race in elite men, it is an unbelievable feeling. I can’t quite describe what it feels like,” Meyer told cyclingnews.com.

 ”To win the road race after [my brother] Cam’s just won the time trial, to have two national champions in the same team and in the same family, it is just unbelievable.

“People are going to know my name in the ProTour ranks just because I have got the jersey on, to win it after guys like Robbie McEwen, Stuart O’Grady, Matt Wilson, for me to be able to do that and I am only 20 in my first year on the ProTour it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” he added.
