2021 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ROAD RACE CHAMPIONSHIPS – THAT’S A WRAP!
The 2021 SA Road Race season finale was held at The Bend East circuit November 27th and 28th. With very few riders ever seeing the track prior to the meeting, it promised to be something very exciting, and that’s exactly what it delivered.
The season was run over 4 separate rounds held at each of the state’s circuits, with an interclub round at Phillip Island unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19. But last weekend, all of the racers were glad to be back racing again for their last attempt to secure valuable series points to add to those from Mallala and Mac Park races earlier in the year.
With many newcomers showing great speed very early, some older racers developing their race craft throughout the year and representing the state in this year’s ASBK Championship and not to mention the introduction of the bLU cRU SA Junior Cup series, the 2022 season is shaping up to be one of our best ever!
Huge congratulations to the 2021 South Australian Road Race podiums, and thanks to all who rode and supported the 2021 Championship, and as has become the norm, COVID played its part that makes it hard for everyone to plan!
