your 200m fly will rank you. Rankings will be split into heats of three. Explain these races 200m Fly - @ RAW our 200m fly's are conducted over 2 1/2 laps and not the 3 1/2 UCI standard. Riders line up in the back straight. As the previous rider races past, you are push started to start your warm up lap. On your second lap you want to be high on the track and gaining speed. Riders will dive down the track to receive the bell and timing will start 50m later. Your time will be stopped at the finish line. At the conclusion please be aware other riders are now on the track, so please vacate the field quickly and safely.
Sprint- at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 3-4 laps the first few laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics.

Should I go up a grade? • At RAW you will be never be told what grade you have to ride.
• However your peers may politely suggest you change grades.
• Added to this, I may offer some advice, in an attempt to pre-empt your peers.
• In the history of RAW, the “choose your own” grade policy has only been seriously rorted on three occasions, are you interested in being the fourth?
