New event for Bendigo madison

The introduction of a motor paced event will present an exciting addition to this year's Bendigo International Madison Carnival, to be held at the Tom Flood Sports Centre from March 10-12.

Riding behind a Derny and paced throughout the duration of the event, riders on the track are expected to reach speeds up to 75km/h over the 20-lap distance, and with six riders competing together, both skill and concentration are mandatories. 2006 marks the first time a Derny race will be held at the Bendigo Madison, and the event will featured during Sunday's (March 12) program from 6:00pm.
