Mount Stromlo is one of Australia’s most well known tracks, both here and internationally. It played host toA�a World Cup inA�2008, won by Greg Minnaar and the World Championships’ in 2009 won by Steve Peat. Not to mention numerous other National Series races and the National Championships’. Widely regarded as a physically intensive track, Minnaar and Peats’ win seemed to prove this theory. If there was going to be a race this year that would test Troy Brosnan’s dominance in Elite Men, Mount Stromlo would be it. Favourite in Under 19 Men must have been a rider such as Joey Vejvoda or Dean Lucas, riders who both suit the pedally track.

Round 2 Australian National Series – Mt. Buller Finals

A dry dusty track greeted riders for racing, this year the track followed the ‘old’ line, featuring a wooden wall ride to drop, rather than the switchbacks used last season when conditions were wet and slippery!
