RRR

Another perfect day in Tropical Far North Queensland for the 19th running of the RRR. A packed field of 300+ riders took to a 38km or 44km extended course on what was a fast, dusty and by all acounts fun course.

The honour of having their name on the prestigous RRR trophy, for the men goes to Under 19 rider Andrew Costello, with a time of  1h31:55.38. Less than 1 second back, so we're talking a bunch sprint here, was Sean McCarroll in 2nd and David Wood in 3rd, both previous winners of the RRR. For the ladies, Abby McLennan made it 3 years in a row to take the overall win in a time of 1h45:18.21. Next in were Lauretta Howarth for 2nd and Selina Stoute 3rd in the overall class for women.

XC3 Category Results
XC3 Lap Results.
(A note on the lap results and these are lap records for each rider and they are ordered by race number. The purple time is the fastest lap of the day. Andrew Costello took out that honour with a 19:45.47 on his first lap. The green numbers indicate the best lap time as the race progressed. So if you have all green numbers for your laps, then each lap was faster than the previous.
