Ausies Clean up


Well folks,
I'm elated to Announce that I am officially World Solo 24hr age group Champion!


Team BMC cleans up, Jason 2nd Elite, Mwa 1st & Joel 2nd U25.

The Ausies really stepped it up in the super tough conditions with James Williamson taking out the Elite mens, Jason 2nd, Mark Fenner 3rd, Jeff Toohey 4th, Katrin Van der Spegal 2nd Elite Women, Andy Fellows taking out 25-30 age group, Craig Peacock took out his age group for the 3rd year in a row, along with a number of other category placings.

A huge congratulations to all the competitors who made it through the night of some of the most treacherous conditions imaginable,
a full report to follow once I've recovered a bit.

An even bigger than huge thanks goes out to my Pit crew, Jac, Simon & Shane(Team Mechanic) for all your tireless efforts, you guys were amazing, quite simply couldn't have achieved this without you.

Last but far from least a huge thanks go out to all my Supporters/Sponsors listed to the right, with special thanks to Night Lightning, OZ Riders, Erin & Ash for holding the fort, without your generous support, it would not have been possible for me to get to the start line, let alone win the World Championship, this was a massive team effort, so thanks again to you all.

Time for a bit of R&R

Live to ride, Ride to live,

Troy :)

Just got off the phone to your old man and isn't he as proud as punch telling anyone who will listen that he has a World Champion in the family. It was absolutely fantastic news. Sincere congratulations from all the family in Qld. You have worked your ring off and thoroughly deserve it. Can't wait to speak with you when you get back home. Make sure you have a couple of cold ones for me whilst you enjoy your R & R. Well done and simply couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. I am absolutely stoked for you. The photos and comments on the website are really great too. Well done to a new WORLD CHAMPION. Rodd
