Motorcycling Victoria said it would like to thank everyone who supported the program on the day.

"Without our riders we cannot run these days and show our female riders just how much there is love about our sport. To each and every Volunteer from cooking the BBQ, to assisting the coaches or manning the Start Line for open sessions ‰ÛÒ without you we literally have no sport!" they said in a statement.

"To the wonderful coaches who all work cohesively together as a team and individually with their groups to make this day such a success. Wayne Sullivan was asked to be our Head Coach for this program and we are very grateful and happy that he accepted. Wayne did an extraordinary job of supporting the Motorcycling Victoria team in the lead up to the day to provide a program that would give the riders the best day possible, and leave them wanting to come up.
