RAW Track
Race All Winter Track
Dunc Grey Velodrome, Sydney, Australia
Week 1 June 15 2018

A good start to the 2018 RAW track season with strong numbers in divisions 3 and 4 but light on in the other grades. A solid contingent of first time RAW riders from the nation’s capital was impressive to see and I look forward to seeing these riders progress throughout the season. As per normal for the first week of RAW, many competitors were trying to find their grade with several riders standing out as potential up-graders.

The sprint round was not only fast on the track but also fast in the process I think we punched through the whole sprint program in about 25-30 minutes without skipping a beat. Well done to the riders for being prompt to the start and quick to exit. That “well done” is not extended to Felix James who copped a slap on the back of his hand for being late to the start and completely unbalancing the DIv 2 sprint heats. The 2016 Bombtrack wheel-race winner may need a note from his parents next time.

At the start of the night, I identified Zac Marshall as the fastest rider on the track and looking at the results he won 3 of the 4 races. However, I am confident that Zac would agree he did not dominate the racing, in fact he struggled to overcome a rampaging Shaun McWilliams. Shaun turned more than a few heads with his speed, strength and more importantly astute tactics to be touted as a potential series contender.
