In second place after Thursday’s racing, O’Shea dominated last night’s contests.
The Adelaide-based cycling star won the 16-lap pursuit in a time of 4:26 and then later followed his strength and all-round skill by lapping the field at 30 laps to go in the scratch race.
A six-event duel, the omnium is decided on a points system, in which the winner receives a point.
A dual winner of the bankmecy-sponsored Bendigo Advertiser-WIN Television Sports Star of the Year award, O’Shea capped the night’s racing by winning the 1km time trial in 63.61 seconds.
Final standings were O’Shea 8 points, Davison 14, Alex Morgan (Victoria) 26, Miles Scotson (SA) 29.
After being rivals the past two nights, O’Shea and Davison will team up in tonight’s Australian Madison championship.
