Four riders will start off the top fence and four will start off the bottom fence about 20m behind. Whistle start.

One (1) rider will start on the 0m mark the rest will line up behind the pursuiters line. Top 6 riders will draw for position. False start punishment. • Official notes minor false start = relegation of 1 position • Official notes significant false start = relegation to last of the group (may differ to Last) • Official notes major false start = relegation to last. Madi-Lead 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. Madison- A high speed, two person continuous race relay. Think of tag team wrestling meets track cycling - while one partner is racing the other is resting at the top of the track. This race is named after Madison Square Garden in New York where the event was first held. Two man teams contest the event, which is typically an endurance event. Only one rider from each team is allowed in the race at a given time, meaning that teams must take it in turn each lap (or more) to have a rider in the race. Changeovers are quite dangerous, but impressive to watch when done well - one rider circles around waiting for his teammate, who joins hands and imparts his momentum to the slower rider. At RAW Track we usually ride this on a scratch race format reference www.cyclingnews.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XZ4_QbZJks&feature=channel Result Points are double! • For every week you attend you receive 10 points (as per normal) • In rounds 3, and 4 top four place getters receive 10, 6, 4 and 2points respectively Point Score info Last week’s top scorers • Div 1 Ben Harvey 30 points • Div 2 Geoff Baxter 30 points • Div 3 Stelio Pappas 22 points • Div 4 7x riders 20 points • Div 5 Brendan Burrett 30 points (http://www.rawtrack.com.au/TWE.jpg) series • Div 1 Ben Harvey 169 points • Div 2 Eric MacDonald and Geoff Baxter 158 points • Div 3 Kurt Allen 157 points • Div 4 Nigel Apps 175 points • Div 5 Broughton Caley 178 points Teams/Clubs Challenge (http://sy13.conquercancer.org.au/images/content/pagebuilder/Hillbrick_BICYCLES.jpg) 1 Dulwich Hill 3414 2 Lidcombe 3339 3 Penrith 1493 4 Illawarra 1239 5 St George 925 6 Parramatta 772 7 SUVelo 765 8 Central Coast 751 9 Bicisport 707 10 Southern Cross 658 11 Canberra 647 12 Randwick Botany 545 13 Bankstown Sports 473 14 Peloton 452 15 Hunter Districts 405 16 Vikings 348 17 ATTA nsw 347 18 Bathurst 322 19 Manly 321 20 Sutherland 294 21 Macarthur 281 22 Waratah Masters 280 23 WSMTB 201 24 Goulburn 189 25 Southern Highlands 166 26 Muswellbrook 163 27 Northern Sydney 150 28 Sydney 146 29 Day 143 30 ANU Cycling 109 31 CA 89 32 Harlequin 80 33 Racing Kangaroos 42 34 Balmoral 34 35 Marconi 33 36 Eastern Suburbs 32 37 ? 30 38 ADCC 30 39 Rockhampton 30 40 UQCC 30 41 All other clubs 0 A message from LACC to DHBC Each week The Big friendly Vegan has been posting a cheeky gif on the DHBC forum (http://i.imgur.com/WejGeqQ.gif) The Time blaster this week • With Jack Edwards, Tirian McManus, Ben Harvey and several other hitters expected this week, I was going to say that the massive Cash prize of $400 would surely go off this week. • However just got a message from Tirian stating he is out due to injury • After the last time blaster attempt in week 10 when a div 1 lacking fire-power went within 4 seconds of cracking the win. (Mostly due to Ben Harvey) • I still believe this weeks’ time blaster will go off. • Not to be missed!

For week 12 (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:AiTBOtfLJJsxTM:http://laist.com/attachments/la_zach/paris-hilton_thatshot.jpg) V's (http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:u29gLYNrvMzl5M:http://smallmediumlarge.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/mullet11.jpg) Div 1: Hot: Ben Harvey Not: Gavin White .. old man back issues What a difference a week makes! Gavin White was out due to a shaggers back injury. This allowed Ben Harvey to rape and pillage all the points. He has now taken the lead for the first time in the series. Ben is now the favourite to win the 2013 season, but a series battle will rage dependant on Gav’s back. Minor places: All in the top 7 will have a shot at the top 5. A question mark exists on the newly promoted Daniel Van der Laan who has been riding gallantly in div 1 and scoring points. However, I feel that points in the final three weeks will be difficult for the LACC rider. Top 5 contenders Ben Harvey 169 Gavin White 155 Bradley Heap ** 146 Daniel Van der laan 140 Scott Mills ** 135 Jack Schwarze** 134 Joshua Cornish 133 Div 2: Hot: Geoff Baxter Not: Eric McDonald:… has lost a significant chunk, in fact all of his lead over the last two weeks We have a battle royal a brewing in Div 2! Gary Mandy appears to be the strongest and tactically superior in the division. However an error last week forced a relegation which has cost him dearly. The two leaders are now tied for the win and I for one am not will to place a wager either way at this stage. Bring it boyz, Bring it! Top 5 contenders Eric MacDonald 158 Geoff Baxter** 158 Gary Mandy 146 Elliot Stacey** 142 Procter Morris 140 Rowan Drumond 140 Div 3: Hot: Sean Brunt Not: Lizanne Willmot … Just putting it out there. I like to live dangerously ? Newly crowned 2013 Fat-man has showed his pure speed in dominating the sprint events, he has also shown his determination to try and pick up points in the endurance events. Having said this he did lose a bit of his lead last week. The father and Son team “Brunt Buddies” have been seriously rattling the division leader. Top 5 contenders Kurt Allen 157 Sean Brunt 154 James Orton 149 Lizanne Wilmot 143 Damon Brunt 143 Div 4: Hot: Phillip Dobe Not: Nigel Apps: .. Not really Nigel has been the dominant character of the division for the whole series. In his shadow has been the consistently long way out attacking style of Phil Dobe. Somehow over the last couple of weeks Phil has come out of the shadow’s and is now within 6 points of the lead. Surprise, surprise this isn’t over. Top 5 contenders Nigel Apps** 175 Phillip Dobe ** 169 Steffi Taylor 147 Nick Hardcastle 142 Samuel Haynes 137 Div 5 Hot: Broughton Caley : too hot to handle Fight on for second. Top 5 contenders Broughton Caley ** 178 Ben Hill 150 Ian Bullimore 147 Thomas Murray 143 John Crnogorac 138 Title: Re: Week 12 ..30 Aug 2013 Post by: Artson on August 29, 2013, 12:37:09 AM Don't forget this is the final week of the Babici Madison Challange
