APRIL CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE AFTER 1 RACE OF 4:

April and we now start to see the winners ballast taking a proper hit on some riders! Gil,Mad.io won todays race but because of some great success over the first 3 months, he’s now going to feel the pain! This is now a great opportunity for the rest to finally get a win or a top 3, but don’t forget that once you get a top 3, you will also be given some ballast for the rest of the year. Its going to look really interesting ( and hopefully really close) come the Autumn/Winter months!

Another interesting turn of events for this race is what has been created by “bionicmike”s never give up attitude! a big gap in his finish time to the next rider in front of him, meant that 6 riders in the other races all finished between that time meaning they all got nice points and only separated by approx 0.14 points! This has never really happened before so a special thanks to bionicmike as that has really kept it all nice and close.
