I'm gonna put a speedo on the track bike and check max speed on entry etc.
Conditions were as variable as the results. Look at who you beat: Paul Worby, Peter Holly, Jackson Pratt. All lightning fast, but like you and me and a bunch of others not enough power/endurance to keep the legspeed up into the buffeting wind.
I watched Peter Holly's run from the back straight and he was dead-set flying for 150m. Then it was almost like he was doing a madison throw as the wind stole his legspeed with every pedal stroke. I couldn't believe how much impact it had on a big strong bloke like him.
