The puzzle
Tom Finnigan's health began to fail and in 1920 he sold his business to BruceSmall who would go on to make millions from bikes and real-estate development, and become mayor of the Gold Coast, was a savvy operator who understood enough about cycling to spot a star in the making, which was why in 1921 he put 17-year-old Hubert Opperman on the payroll. ‘Oppy’ – later Sir Hubert Opperman, a federal minister of the Menzies era – was Australia’s first cycling superstar, and he became the face of Malvern Star. He won the Australian Road Cycling Championship four times, while also making a name for himself internationally. In 1928 he won the prestigious Bol d’Or in Paris and placed highly in the Tour de France.
Question: Oppy won the first Australian Road Cycling Championship in what year?
