This week’s Races• Round 1 warm up Scratch
• Round 2 Rotor Rings 1km wheel-race
•
Round 3 group sprints + 200m fly Div1
• Round 4 Madilead and Div 1 Madison Non Madison Div 1 Keirin • Round 5 Combines
Explain these races Group 5 lap scratch/sprint Your Division will be split into two heats. So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. The race is run under standard scratch race rules. At only 1.25km in length this race is considered more like a sprint than a scratch race.
Madilead- The pace in this race is set by a Madison team (see Madison). The bunch follows the Madison team for ??laps until, with 5 laps remaining the Madison leaders take off leaving the bunch to sought out the winner in scratch race style finish. The Idea of this race is to allow the lower grades to experience following a Madison change (which is a key skill in learning to ride a madison). The pace of this race can often change with the experienced leaders putting in a few hard attacks to stir up the bunch.
Div 1 Non-Madison Kierin style event. Is worth 2 and 1 point only! A nominated rider will lead out the sprint 2 laps from the finish. Lead rider is not allowed to accelerate once the lead out has commenced. 200m Fly procedure • A handler will be on the back straight waiting for you (need a volunteer here)
• As the previous competitor goes past doing their final lap, you will be push started
• You will receive 2 laps to go as you past the start/finish.
• Upon completion of your Fly you will be allowed 1 warm down lap only vacating the track down the back ramp.
• The above procedure must be the same for all competitors
200m Fly, Record • The RAW/FNWTR record is held by Alex Bird 11.02 Aug 2008
200m Fly, for non Div 1 riders
• Every year, I get asked by a heap of riders if they can ride the 200m fly
• I must be mindful of the amount of riders that do participate, as this is a time consuming process.
• If you are not Div 1 and wish to participate, you must email me stating your reason for consideration before 12noon Friday.
