MITCHELL SUPPLIES BACKS WARRNAMBOOL CLASSIC

Mitchell Building Supplies is the new major sponsor of the Melbourne to Warrnambool cycling classic.

The company’s managing director Frank Agosta is a former cyclist and long-time supporter of Victorian track and road events.

He won the Camperdown Open in the late 1950s.

Mitchell Building Supplies is a family company, based in Burnley, and specialises in timber and concrete products.

“To have our company associated with the Melbourne to Warrnambool classic gives me a great deal of personal satisfaction,” Mr. Agosta said.

“The ‘Warrnambool’ is an Australian sports institution and warrants recognition as one of the world’s great bike races.”

Warrnambool Citizens’ Road Race Committee president Brendan Gleeson welcomed Mitchell Building Supplies’ involvement in the classic.

“This company is a traditional supporter of cycling and its backing of the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic is a substantial boost for the race,” he said.

“We have a wide range of excellent sponsors involved in the race this year.”

Mitchell Building Supplies joins SEW Eurodrive, Warrnambool City Council, Tourism Victoria, Radio 3YB, the City Memorial Bowls Club and Wyndham City Council as principal sponsors of the event.

The 261km Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic, first held in 1895, will be conducted on Saturday, October 24, starting from Werribee racecourse at 7.30a.m.

It will be followed on Sunday, October 25, by the inaugural Shipwreck Coast Classic, which will double as the Victorian open road championships for men and women.

Both events will conclude at Cheeseworld.
