Report

A break of about 5 or 6 riders in A grade managed to not only get away from the A grade peleton but eventually lap the field.  Although average speeds were down across the grades this week, everyone still seemed to be working pretty hard.  (Sorry B grade have adjusted your speed.  Missed a lap so you were actually pretty quick this week at 38.12 kph)

B grade and Calvin Smith led out from a long way and seemed to have it in the bag when all of a sudden Dave Watkinson let out an earth shuddering scream, reminiscent of several weeks ago when with a similar scream he went from first to third.  I think that he has perfected the scream though as this time he launched past Calvin right on the line to take victory. 

C grade came down to a bunch gallop this week with no one away.  Austen Miller victorious in the end.

Bit of controversy in D grade with a couple of riders being distanced from the peleton after a minor fall.  There was a bit of debate as to whether one rider had one lap out or two but in the end we all agree that it was only one.  It does emphasis the point however that you should make your way by the shortest practicable route to the Commissaire and seek permission for a lap out in relation to a fall, puncture or mechanical mishap.  It is not a given.  It has to be applied for and approved by the Commissaire.  Those who wait by the side of the track and join back in next lap with the Commissaire having absolutely no idea as to what is going on, could very well find themselves disqualified from the race.  Better to learn these lessons at club racing rather than having it happen to you  at a major open meeting.

Riders Please Note-

Don't forget that you must race in your club uniform, unless entitled as a registered member of a Cycling NSW or Cycling Australian registered or International team, to wear registered team uniform.  All male (non junior) registered team members will be required to compete in the  A grade event.  Female registered team members will be allowed to compete in B grade event. 

If you for any reason wish to change your grade (as recorded in the computer), you will not be allowed to at Registration.

Grade changes will only be authorised by me (John Buckton). 

See you Saturday.
