Craig Dodson (Richmond Pro Cycling) reaches out to give a young racer a push through the 1km Clarendon Cup course, to the delight of spectators and the girl's frantic mother. The girl dropped her chain in front of Craig on the first half of the course, and when he couldn't get it back on he quickly shifted from mechanic to domestique, guiding his charge all the way to the line.
Craig is also reported to have given a hand-sling to a 3-year-old on a Big Wheel in the 4-and-under race at Clarendon.
