Final Results for 2009 released - 28th July
Ben and his team of scorers have done a magnificent job collecting and collating the data.
This year has been a change in the way the scoring was done, with every section being scored to the second.
To be sure all was accurate Ben has spent the time since the trial double (or more) checking every aspect of the data.
We are now rewarded with the most detailed results ever released.
Well Done Ben and team.

RESULTS - The Official Word
Provisional results will be available as soon as we believe they are accurate enough to publish.
At this point we believe that by Wed or Thu evening they should be finished and ready for publication, it will not be any earlier than this.
Please understand that we would rather publish results that we think are accurate (although several days after the event), than publish results too early that are subject to great change.
After results are published, riders will be given the opportunity (within a given timeframe – probably a week) to query their scores if the believe there is an error, however we anticipate the results will be accurate and error free when published.
Please check back on Wednesday or Thursday for an update on the progress of results.

Thankyou for your patience
