Usually, track sprinters are also Kilo riders, I'd compare road sprinters more to Pursuit riders alone.
Now Theo Bos is supposedly switching to road racing after Beijing in 2008, and he's a world champion sprinter, holds the afforementioned 200m record of 9.772 seconds, races the Kilo and does points and scratch races. I just thought I'd get that out there, because that's scary.
