Sigma Sport South East Cycle Race Series

The South of England's premier cycle race series

2006 action

The aim of the series is to provide a bridge between the existing extensive League based programme of racing and national level Elite and Premier Calendar racing for riders within the South East Region and to provide regular racing in the region at this level through the season.

Last year the series was won by Rob Hurd (Chocolatier Isabelle) based on consistent performances during the year and included several top scoring places in the Series.

The Series, now in its 5th year, is continuing to gain enthusiastic support and provide a focus for riders throughout the season, with the top overall places being contested through to the very last race of the year.

The Sigma Sport South East Series consists of 9 single day races based on events throughout the season from March to September. Each event will maintain its own independent prize list whilst the Series is based on an overall point’s table. The Sigma Sport South East Series for 2007 is made up of the following events (subject to final confirmation):

Dates
Round 1 March, 4th Dulwich Primavera – Tenterden, Kent.
Round 2 April, 22nd Les Ingman – Bletchingly, Surrey.
Round 3 May, 7th Bec CC – Lingfield, Surrey.
Round 4 June, 10th Cycle Kingdom Classic – Milland, Sussex.

Round 7 August, 12th Redhill CC, Leigh, Surrey
Round 8 September, 9th South East RR League – Benenden, Kent

Note
Due to the rapidly increasing popularity of the Series there are some changes regarding eligibility of riders. The Series will now be open to riders from other regions with preferential entry to BC South East registered riders, in the case that the event is full. Entry to events will be as individual event criteria (at least Elites, 1st & 2nd categories) with individual race prizes open as usual.

Overall ranking for the Series will be on a point’s basis for each round towards the final overall table. There will be a minimum number of three (3) qualifying rounds in which riders must start the event.

The overall prize presentation will take place after the last round on September 23rd.

Provisional Prize List
The total prize fund will be at least £2,725, with an overall 1st place prize in the region of £500, and individual cash prizes down to 20th place. Overall team prizes for the first three teams of three riders scoring points will also be available. There will also be a prize for the first Vet and first Under 23 overall in the series.
