The 2016 National Road Series (NRS) served up some of the best domestic racing in seasons but the year was largely overshadowed by issues off the bike. The calendar was shorter than previous years as several races fell by the wayside, leading to uncertainty for riders, team managers, race organisers and Cycling Australia (CA). A review of the NRS was announced in June of last year by CA with the governing body announcing it is aiming to implement the recommendations for the 2017 season.
With the 2016 season wrapped up and the calendar yet to be announced for next year, Cyclingnews spoke with the team managers of the top-ten teams on the NRS rankings for their thoughts on 2016. The good, and the bad, and what can be done to improve the series for the 2017 season.
Part one of the 2016 NRS season in review features the team managers from the top five teams on the overall NRS classification.

The best result for the team in 2016?
I don't like to say one individual rider or one individual result so for me it would be winning the overall team standings again. It is a team sport for us and we are not so much about individual results so it would be the overall NRS team win
