By the way, does it say ``Coke'' or ``McDonalds'' on the Curtains?

NZ track coach had some interesting comments.

1. Spoked front wheels are in since one end of the velodrome has
tarpaulins rather than walls. And it's not actually the end where the
normal wind comes from. (Hey, but the construction got finished on
schedule!). Few riders will be using disk front wheels, he predicted.

2. Greg Henderson's sprint efforts are 71km/h+

3. Video footage from the pace motorbike of Sarah Ulmer indicates she
is in tip-top form for the pursuit. Super-smooth at 55kph.

4. The men's pursuit squad training build up included a "very slow"
paced effort. 4:09 pace is now "very slow" for a team
pursuit...Remember the days when Chris Boardman could drop the entire
German team pursuit squad with 4:16?

I would think Ulmer would be faster than that. I was motorpacing Erin
Mirabella (USA) in both 3k pursuit efforts and 20 minute points race efforts
at 56-58kph

She might be sitting farther off the motor.
