New Derny Requirements - Technical Regulations

New Technical information from CNSW regarding the use of dernys/motorbikes on velodrome.

To summarise, the derny/motor bike can only be used when it is driven by a licenced CNSW member, that person has an accreditation as a motor pacer/derny rider from CNSW or is a Level 2 coach. This applies to racing and training. A motor pacer is not allowed to provide coaching advice unless they are an accredited coach accreditation courses will be run in February by CNSW, date to be confirmed, in the interim however due to insurance requirements derny/motor pacing for training or racing is suspended at Unanderra velodrome unless the motor pacer meets the above criteria.

Please contact Jenni Vaughan-Floyd is you need additional clarification
