Alex Gobert’s Road Race Performance Academy will travel nationwide in 2009, today releasing a packed calendar that will see Australia’s new era in rider training visit each and every state around the country. Following a successful introduction to coaching in the second half of this year, RRPA has been going from strength to strength, building on experience and attracting growing numbers of participants at each event. The circuit-based program will visit many tracks around the country, including circuits in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Dates in Queensland are currently being finalised and will be announced as soon as they are 100% confirmed. Gobert’s Academy will introduce a recently announced all-new structure in the new year, with the full program consisting of Level 1 and Level 2 groups, while a cost effective Development Group will invite racers and returning riders to brush up on certain skills without undergoing the entire curriculum. RRPA’s revised structure is a result of feedback from this year’s courses, with the program now set to adopt one of the most innovative structures ever in rider training “” all designed to suit each individual’s skill level.

We’ll also build on establishing RRPA further in our local states and continue to prove that we are a new era in rider training in this country.” Dates and entry forms are now up on RRPA’s website at www.rrpa.com.au.
