Good to see how pursuit training has evolved over the last 15 years......I remember watching Billy-Joe doing EXACTLY the same thing at Blackburn track in 1990. Cue one extremely skinny dude folded in half taking flyers off the derny at nearly 60kmh and holding a 3/4 lap lead for a hadful of laps glued to the bottom of the track before swinging up.....impressive.
