and what stood out. As always, the focal point of this

the decisions on who has been placed where haven't been
taken lightly and considerable discusion took place
before we reached our verdict!
Throughout this week you will be treated to over 50,000
words of new and original editorial content and the
Top 20 Real Road Racers of 2006 will be counted down
culminating in the unveiling of the 2006 RealRoadRacing.Com

following topics for you to read:
- Rookie of the Year
- Disappointment of the Year

We will also have the Sidecar Review of the Year and
Stephen Davison's unique and Review of the Year in Pictures,
also encompassing his own candid thoughts. To conclude,
there will also be an in-depth, exclusive interview
with the RealRoadRacing.Com
