As we enter the latter stages of the 2019 racing season, the Road Racer of the Year 2019 title race remains wide-open. With a remaining maximum of up to 20 points up for grabs, any of the riders currently in the top 10 having a realistic chance of taking out the title.
Current front-runner Richard Wilkinson is seeing the rewards for consistency, being ever-present throughout the season. But hot on his heels and sporting a freshly minted NSW Masters bronze medal is John Scott-Hamilton, with Mark Haydon and Jacqui King also notable for making a late charge.
So with only 2 rounds left, its time to buy the handicapper a beer, lube the drivetrain, plonk on an aero helmet…its the final countdown!!
