REPORT
A good A grade field this week but it wasn't long
before:
Robbie Cater had them single file in the gutter
gasping for breath.
Robbie just too strong in the end and took victory
pretty easily.
B Grade early in the race before a group of 5 or 6
got away. B grade was then very much two bunches.
I looked at the break and determined early that
Andy Matthews was probably the best sprinter in the bunch especially
given that he was riding my very fast "Ex" BH. Andy, never in
doubt, as he claimed victory in the B grade event.
Bit of contention in the C grade event. First
and foremost it should be noted that the Chief Com (me) has the same
status as the referee at the Footy and/or soccer or the umpire at
the cricket and as you know umpire is always right. So
please do not shout in my face and tell me that I got it wrong. If
you do read up on your rules, you will also note that you run the
risk of having a holiday from racing for a few weeks. Please
remember that lap counting is only a guide and the Commissaire
determines when the final lap should occur with the ringing of the
bell. C Grade got themselves all mixed up with D Grade
who were on their sprint lap. Had C grade used a little smarts
and rode neutral giving D grade a buffer for their sprint, the
outcome would have been different. As it was C Grade and D
grade was one mass of riders as they approached the finish line with
D Grade having to sprint in and around the C grade riders. I
could not have given the bell for a couple of reasons. Firstly
because I was too busy trying to record finishers in D grade and
secondly, it would have thrown total confusion to D grade had they
received a bell during their sprint. I therefore elected to
sprint C grade a lap later.
So there were some very sour looking faces as they
sprinted next lap to the line only to hear a bell indicating one to
go. However it is a lesson well learnt. The sprint lap
for C Grade is not at the countdown at the end of 14 laps, it is the
lap after the Commissaire rings the bell.

lap, and came in a country mile ahead to take out C
Grade. |
