Explain these races Sprint - - at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 2-4 laps the first 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.
Winners Race- The race is over 16 laps. There is a sprint with 13laps to-go, the winner of this sprint qualifies for the final sprint, however he/she must continue to race, keeping a close eye on the winners of the sprints with 10, 7 and 4 Laps to go. Each of these riders also qualify for the final sprint. With 4 laps to go all non-qualifying riders must withdraw from the race. Leaving a 4 up sprint to decide the final placing. You can work out all the tactics on this one.

Final night of the club Challenge At the conclusion of this Friday the points will be finalised for the Club Challenge ride off.
It should be DHBC v's STGCC
Each club will ride off in an Italian Pursuit consisting of 10 riders, consisting of a structure chosen by the minor premiers.
Last year’s Structure was:
• Female
• Female +40
• U17
• U19
• +35
• +45
• The remaining can be of any category.
In the interest of RACE. Trading of categories can be negotiated
Whilst it is planned that the minor premiers have the upper hand, the selected categories have to be somewhat amicable
V's Grade point scores are frozen (for series contenders) • By this I mean that the Division you are in now on the point score will be the one you will earn points for the rest of the season, even if you change divisions.
• So if you move from Div 4 to Div 3 this week your name will remain in the Div 4 point score.
