Any track racing background, a successful track racing background, or track racing at the elite levels?

Last time I checked, there still wasn't any vetting process that eliminated mediocre cyclists or even marginally successful riders with poor technique from track racing anymore than they did from road racing or off-road racing. Moreover, while a lot of the top riders in the pro pelotons have track racing in their background, there are riders like Cadel Evans and Floyd Landis who have had successful careers in mountain bike racing.

Just some food for thought.
