Who is hot and who is not (for TWE Point Series)
For week 12 V's
Div 1: Hot: Ben Harvey… Will win 2013 RAW Track
Not: Brad Heap …….missed the points last week
Ben Harvey is flying! I believe he has essentially wrapped up the series after a second perfect week in a row. This is a good thing for Ben as he can now relax his training in preparation for the his intensive program for the National championships in 2014.
Although Ben has control of the win 2nd through to 6th is completely out of control. Every rider is separated by a handful of points.
Top 5 contenders
Ben Harvey 199
Bradley Heap ** 156
Gavin White 155
Scott Mills ** 153
Daniel Van der laan 152
Joshua Cornish 151
Jack Schwarze** 146
Div 2: Hot: Gary Mandy
Not: Proctor Morris … He rode well last week but missed the points
Geoff Baxter has a 10 point buffer on Gary Mandy is it enough?
Top 5 contenders
Geoff Baxter** 180
Gary Mandy 170
Eric MacDonald 168
Elliot Stacey** 156
Jack Morgan 153
Procter Morris 150
Div 3: Hot: Sean Brunt
Not: Damon Brunt
Sean has hit the lead for the first time of the series; he has a 5 point lead and will go into the last two weeks as the clear favourite. Oldly whilst the old-man Brunt is peaking the youngster Brunt is wallowing. These guys may be nicknamed “Bookend Brunts” it is not uncommon to see one at the front and the other at the rear.
Top 5 contenders
Sean Brunt 178
Kurt Allen 173
James Orton 167
Ian Docherty 168 note I have spotted an error Ian has missed out on a 10 point away week. Correct score is 168
Lizanne Wilmot 153
Damon Brunt 153
Stelio Pappas ** 153
Div 4: Hot: almost everyone
Not: no one
The two man div 4 show continues with Nigel Apps taking a two point advantage over Phil Dobe last week to increase his lead to 8 points. Whilst this is increasing the odds that Nigel will win the series, I cannot help but notice how tense and stressed he appears, in contrast Phil seems a lot more relaxed with a nothing to lose attitude.
Top 5 contenders
Nigel Apps** 197
Phillip Dobe ** 189
Steffi Taylor 161
Nick Hardcastle 156
Mark Bezzina 149
Peter Rox ** 147
Mark Fakhouri 146
Chris Harris 145
Brad Mills 144
Alex Lord 144 Div 5
