Balmoral Cycling Club’s Blake Quick made up for the disappointment of watching his Australian team mate James Moriarty suffer a training injury to win the Madison event at the junior world track cycling championships held in Switzerland this month.

In a bitter-sweet moment, Quick teamed with his Victorian partner Luke Plapp to claim the junior world championship. Quick returned with one gold and two bronze medals.

As joyful as it was for Quick, he shared the heartache of knowing his Balmoral Cycling Club team mate, James Moriarty, was ruled out of the championships after suffering a broken collarbone while training in Switzerland.

“This was his first Australian team,’’ said James’ father, Jon.

Moriarty, 17, is a year 12 student at Citipointe Christian College, Carindale, made the team alongside Quick.

The win by Quick continued a stellar nine months for the teenager after he won many national titles and medals on both road and track.

These performances culminated in him being awarded the under 19 male Champion of Champions at track nationals in February.

A third Queenslander, Sunshine Coast-raised Alexandra Martin-Wallace, 18, also won a bronze medal in the women’s Madison.

Martin-Wallace now resides in Hendra and is studying engineering at the University of Queensland.

The Queenslanders were supported on the tour by their respective clubs, along with the Brisbane Continental Cycling Team, the Australian Cycling Academy, Cycling Australia, Cycling Queensland and the QAS.
