WCNI Selectors Guideline Times for National Track Championships

Despite the current ‘cost of living challenges’ facing all community events, Bike Manawatu is 100% committed to ensuring the 51st year of the Novice Tour – once again provides a safe, fun, competitive cycle racing event.

We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.

If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.

Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.

Irrespective of which model of traffic management/racing is finalised, as with all CNZ/Bike Manawatu events, normal road rules will apply and a full rider briefing confirming the event rules will be provided to all riders prior to the start of each race.

The WCNI Selectors Trevor Gudsell, Jeremy Cottam and Luke McCarthy will be looking to select athletes and combinations of athletes for the New Zealand Track Cycling Championships being held in Invercargill who are most capable of producing medal winning performances.

The majority of selection weighting for the Track Team will be based on results achieved at the 2012 West Coast North Island Track Championships.

Consideration will also be given to results and times achieved by riders in other approved competitions within the three months leading into the National Track Championships (ie) Carnival Racing, Oceania Games.

Not every event will necessarily have the full compliment of riders selected. Final selection will be dependant on the standards achieved during the season.

The following times are performance guidelines. These are intended to assist parents, coaches and athletes as they train and compete throughout the 2011- 2012 track season.

The West Coast North Island team will be announced at the completion of racing at West Coast North Island track Championships.
