Josh Haggerty was the man to beat on Tuesday night, with a fast finishing Josh van den Arend close on his heels. Meanwhile, a new two hour race slot for Juniors on Fridays, meant the night comprised of a roll around as well as a bit of speed work with a Motorpaced Points Race for each junior grade. 

Last week's Elite and U19 Track nationals held at Invercargill's Stadium Southland Velodrome was another outstanding success. Great racing, great crowds and the great atmosphere which has become a hallmark of the velodrome over recent years, all added up to four great days of racing.

The Tour of New Zealand is on again for 2013.
