Series report • 14 weeks series (June 16 to sept 15)
• Weeks 1 to 13 zero falls
• Week 14 Blake Ryan falls
• Standout rider of the series. Tom Cornish not only did he win the series but he dominated both the sprints and endurance races. How he didn’t make Junior Worlds I don’t know.
• Numbers were very low with the average week attracting about 70 riders
• Division 3 was the most popular grade
• Division 5 continues to be the breeding ground for young riders and those who are new to the sport.
• Division 2 is the grade that the Masters use as preparation for World Championships
• Massive thanks to CNSW who continue to ensure RAW Track is an integral component of their commitment to cycling
Club challenge report • Riders from 34 clubs participated
• Whilst St George narrowly won the minor premiership decided on points ahead of DHBC
• The Champion Club is decided on a 10-person Club Italian Pursuit
• This is a fantastic concept and a highlight of the series
• It is Tribal, strategical, dynamic and very very exciting.

• From this point the lead changed another 4 times with DHBC building a lead of 30m for the last three riders.
• It was at this point that STGCC powerhouse Div 1 riders took over and hammered the final laps to secure the RAW club champions status for 2017
