Rookie Tim Doman upstaged the big names to win the NSW MTBO Sprint and Middle titles at Newcastle on Saturday.

Tim is an adventure racer whose first foray into MTBO was a few BOSS events this summer, where he took out the Line Score rookie award.

Today he pipped Kiwi Tommy Hayes by four seconds in the morning Sprint, then took out the Middle by a minute and a half - knocking over Australian reps Joel Young, Glen Charlton and Ricky Thackray in an impressive continuance of his form.

Could he be a smokey for the world champs?

Similarly, Kiwi JWOC rep Georgia Skelton won both W21 races and is on track for the treble. 

It was grea to see riders from WA, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria and New Zealand in action.
