Australian National Round 4 – Awaba – Finals

Twelfth place for Rhys Atkinson continued Rhys' run of poor form, not that twelfth is out the back but to Rhys' high standards it wasn't the finish to the season he was looking for.

Lets review the final round of the Australian National Series in Awaba. Whilst Troy Brosnan and Connor Fearon have been the two standout riders in Elite and Under 19 men respectively, nothing in racing is guaranteed. Especially when you consider the riders snapping at their heels behind them, make no mistake these two riders didn’t come into the event with a ‘I will just cruise’ kind of attitude.

Australian National Round 4 – Awaba – Saturday Seeding
