Explain these races

Kierin- The keirin is a motorpaced event that is very popular in Japan where it originated. In that country, huge amounts of money are bet on races and professional keirin riders command impressive salaries. It is similar to the match sprint, but features 6-8 riders on the track. A derny motorbike paces the riders from 25 km/h up to 45 km/h for the first few laps. During this time, riders jostle each other for the best position and this is often the roughest part of the event. With two and a half laps to go, the derny bike pulls off and the sprint is on. Team tactics are important here, as the leadout is often quite long. If one team can get two of their riders in the final, then they are at a distinct advantage.

  Reference: www.cyclingnews.com

Miss 'N' Out- the bike equivalent of musical chairs, sometimes called the elimination race or "Devil's Race," every lap the last rider across the finish line is pulled out of the race until only two riders remain.  The remaining two riders are given the bell and  maneuver themselves before the final all out sprint to the finish line.  Keep your eyes peeled to the back of the field that's where all the excitement lies in this event.

Miss'N'Out Pointscore- This is a standard Miss'N'out however the derny (motorbike) follows the bunch at 100m. As the riders are eliminated they drop back to the derny and continue till all riders are behind the Derny. The Derny sets a controlled pace for 2 laps than pulls off to leave a Kierin style finish. 

• Scoring - in the Miss'N'Out phase, each rider receives the corresponding points to the position they are eliminated i.e. first out =1point .....5th out= 5 points etc. The winner of the Miss'N'out receives his/her corresponding points plus a bonus of 1 point.
• The Kierin phase is scored as 8, 5, 3 and 2 and 1.
• The winner of the race is the rider with the most points.

Devil comes down to Bass Hill This is a motor paced event where by the Derny will start off at a respectable speed (40km/h) with the entire field in a pace line. As riders approach the front of the pace line (back of the derny) they must put their front wheel ahead of the Derny by the pursuiters line in the back straight. They must then maintain the lead by the Pursuiters line in the front straight. If a rider fails to achieve this they are eliminated from the race. The final four riders to beat the derny will claim the top 4 places. The winner is not necessarily the last man standing. Oh I forgot to add that the pace builds.

 

New Sponsor

• The organisers of the BiciSport Track open have agreed to be minor sponsors of the “Time Blaster”
• Each week the “Time Blaster” goes off the winner and top Div 2 rider will score a free entry into the BiciSport Track Open (summer 08/09)
• The BiciSport Track open is definitely one of the best opens in Australia

 

 

 

Still no title sponsor for “Time Blaster”

• The “Time Blaster” formerly known as the “Maersk Time Blaster” has no title sponsor for 2008
• Hence the prize money is only $50 per week in 2008

• The Hillbrick series is a separate point-score over selected events
• The Hillbrick events will be well balanced between sprint and endurance events.
• Riders will score 5, 3, 2 and 1 points for 1^st to 4^th in any grade of a Hillbrick series event (not including Div 5)
• The final event will be a handicap for the top 15 point scorers of the series.
