Explain these races Kierin- The keirin is a motorpaced event that is very popular in Japan where it originated. In that country, huge amounts of money are bet on races and professional keirin riders command impressive salaries. It is similar to the match sprint, but features 6-8 riders on the track. A derny motorbike paces the riders from 25 km/h up to 45 km/h for the first few laps. During this time, riders jostle each other for the best position and this is often the roughest part of the event. With two and a half laps to go, the derny bike pulls off and the sprint is on. Team tactics are important here, as the leadout is often quite long. If one team can get two of their riders in the final, then they are at a distinct advantage. reference www.cyclingnews.com

Miss'N'Out Pointscore- - This is a standard Miss'N'out however the derny (motorbike) follows the bunch at 100m. As the riders are eliminated they drop back to the derny and continue till all riders are behind the Derny. The Derny sets a controlled pace for 2 laps than pulls off to leave a Kierin style finish.
Scoring in the Miss'N'Out phase, each rider receives the corresponding points to the position they are eliminated i.e. first out =1point 5th out= 5 points etc. The winner of the Miss'N'out receives his/her corresponding points plus a bonus of 1 point.
The Kierin phase is scored as 8, 5, 3 and 2 (if bunch is greater than 9 riders) and 5, 3 ,2 and 1. (for bunches of 8 or less)
The winner of the race is the rider with the most points.

Division 1 • "Boy Wonder" Tirian McManus still in complete control
• But Dulwich Hills Tom Bolton did score a perfect score last week.
Battle a-brewing in Division 2 • I knew last week’s Win’N’Out was going to be interesting and that it was
• Gav hit out hard and won the first sprint but more importantly suckered Blake Ryan and Matt LeDilly into a Maximum effort.
• This allowed a tactically perfect Geoff Baxter to ride over the fatigued duo and steal 2nd
• The third sprint was “Dead man pedalling” and Blake crossed the line a jelly of lactic acid.
Battle a-brewing in Division 3 • Bat Yildirim was absent thus handing Rodrigo a 6 point lead
• Brett Scruse won the sprint (as expected) event but more importantly placed in the endurance race!
• Brett now looms as a real threat to Bat and Rodrigo
Battle a-brewing in Division 4 Renee Covington made an error in the Win’N’Out chasing Phil Dobe
Nigel Apps took advantage of this to claim 2nd
Renee made amends in the enduro but Nigel clung to her wheel
End result Nigel clawed back 2 points and now trails her by 2 points
