Dylan Kennett wins the 2012 Gore to Invercargill

Junior Worlds representative Dylan Kennett again showed his class in winning a riveting Gore to Invercargill Classic last night.

After giving the front-markers a 30-minute head-start in Gore, Kennett was part of a scratch bunch which bided its time before reeling in the hard-working frontrunners at Kennington - just over five kilometres from the finish.

But when the catch finally came, it came in a rush and ended with an epic sprint finish on Tay Street.
