No way, that would totally throw off your balance. It is weird that they put them so close, though. If one falls, he'd probably knock the other guy down, too.

They didn't "put" them there. It isn't the start. It's the middle of the race.

I love how they break into "mr. vain" as soon as they start sprinting.

For extra nerdiness, I noticed the Mavic logos on their discs ended up in the same position after the inside guy hopped into position.

SPOILER ALERT!
The guy on the outside (Chris Hoy, Great Britan, green jersey) surprisingly won, even though Wolf got the jump.

I was like, "Why don't they take one foot off the pedal, then the other, than one hand off the bars, then the other? It's obvious they could trackstand all day." Then they started sprinting, reminding me that I know zilch about track racing.

the people who are like "why dont we have anything this cool in the US" really need to realize they just watched five minutes of two guys standing still

01-13-07, 11:53 AM
Hahaha, they trackstand for 4 minutes because neither wants to go ahead... then Wolf gets fed up, takes off. OK, Hoy got his way... but then he overtakes Wolf 1 lap before the end, and wins from the front anyway.

Fan-bleeding-tastic, specially since Hoy the Boy won (got to support the homeys, right?). I wish there was a cable channel that showed track cycling regularly.

I predict these guys will beat both the Chargers and the Eagles at trackstanding.
