Explain these races
Win’N’ Out This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2nd to 4th. Tip if you go for a sprint make sure you win it.

Paced Scratch race - The pace in this race is set by a Div 1 rider. The bunch follows the leader for ??laps until, with 5 laps remaining the div 1 rider takes off leaving the bunch to sought out the winner in scratch race style finish.

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

Battle a-brewing in Division 2
•   Blake Ryan V Gav White V Matt LeDilly V Geoff Baxter V David Browne
•   Blake Ryan leads, but you would have to say Gav White is the fastest sprinter and Geoff Baxter is the best on endurance.
•   Matt LeDilly has been the dominant leader throughout the series and capable of placing in both sprint and Enduro whilst Brownie is there to pick up the scraps should anyone faultier
•   This week’s Round 3 Win’N’Out will be very interesting to watch

Battle a-brewing in Division 3
•   Rodrigo Notaro V Bat Yildirim
•   Are on equal points!
•   What will happen in the Win’N’Out?

Battle a-brewing in Division 4
•   Renee Covington V Nigel Apps
•   I told Nigel to be wary of the girls
