Firstly a big apology to all those D grade riders who hung around to race this week. We really had no choice but to call your race off. With lower numbers out this week due to the rainy conditions it was a night for the break away to stay away. 147 riders took to the circuit in what can only be described as wet and windy conditions particularly for the grades later in the night. A massive shout out to the crew from V mobile who assisted with the marshal duties centre track in less than ideal conditions. All the stats and results for the race and any previous race can be found here: http://critsonline.com/.

Current standings:

• Top Individual:Ryan Gormly, (Team MSL1) 91 points
• Top Team:Team MSL1 – 212 points
• Top Squad:MSL– 472 points

Always happy to try and accommodate more results and in response to a request via email (you can probably guess where the email came from ) I have included what some would consider to be thetruegauge of squad superiority, thePoint per Rider (PPR)ranking

Top PPR Squad: OnyaBike Tuggers and Phillip – 16.17
