26 riders turned up for the second of this year’s ITTs on Wed night. The forecast of a warm sunny day promised some fast times, but the appearance a solid easterly put paid to any records, at least as far as Robert Stannard was concerned. Into a block headwind on homeward leg down Kairanga Rd he was 6 seconds off the current record of 15:23 min. Other impressive times went to Ross Rainham 17:49 and the evergreen (and seemingly getting faster) Neville Weir (16:58). Improver of the night went to Peita Ransom, who went nearly 2 min faster this week.
Wed Night TT results for 28th Jan.
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.
