Well the results probably tell it all. It was again slightly windy and those people that had consistently improved on their times each week were not able to achieve the same results this week. Or perhaps they all just had had a hard week. Regardless any person on 8 points or more really needs to come next week as they could be in the running for prizemoney which is awarded to financial members of the club including new members.
Announced in the race briefing was that next week is the prizegiving and to bring a plate. Sorry for the error in judgement – as most of the people ride out this is impractical so food and drink will be supplied.

Just for those that have enquired about Marcel, having just spoken to him he has said that it is OK to pass on this info.
He has suffered a broken collar bone and a couple of ribs as a result of the accident at track last night.
He was released from hospital early this morning. Although being slightly dizzy occasionally he is feeling alright and will be back on his bike in time.
We all wish Marcel a speedy recovery.

Simon showing just how a rhino stays charging on no matter what the other rhinos are doing to knock him off course.
Action at the Matsudo velodrome on outskirts of Tokyo at 70kms per hour.

The Japanese rider is 41 years old and a legend in keirin racing on the Japanese circuit.
He used his head to “ lever” off Simon and to check Simon’s progress.
They ended up 3rd and 4th in the grand final.

The NZCT New Zealand Cycle Classic’s standing as New Zealand’s only UCI registered tour is reflected in the quality of the overseas teams entered each year and 2013 will be no exception.
One of Australia’s most successful Continental teams, the Drapac Professional Cycling team, has finalised their line up for the 26th version of New Zealand’s premier cycle tour in 2013. Given the consistent success of their riders in 2012, the tour’s overall winner might well come from the Drapac Cycling team for the second time in five years after Peter MacDonald won the tour in 2009. Leading the charge is multi-race victor and one of their new members in the team, twenty nine year old Bernard Sulzberger; a very accomplished tour rider with a few years’ of experience after racing in many countries around the world. He is a former Australian Criterium national champion.
