Nice job Adam... but you need to paint that bike a different color.

It's even worse when you watch the video.

Six riders, four from the same team (who appear to have never raced
before?), a breakaway. In a national championship?

Cycling in the US has more issues than dope.
USA Cycling... hows that whole corporate cash inbred back slappin grass
roots talent development thing going?

That's the worst team pursuit I've ever seen.

I'm speechless...

Well not quite... Very nice video; thanks for posting it!

No good deed goes unpunished--do you happen to have video for the 15km
scratch too??

The guy in the red shirt was clearly the best, he was at the front the
whole time. If he hadn't had to retire three laps from the end I'm sure he
would have won - and without any of that fancy aero stuff either.

Do you guys not understand the rules and tactics of Keirin? Read on:

Not 4 guys on the same team. 4 guys who have the same sponsor. Not
only does Keirin have an "i" in it, but it has two ;-)

He was disqualified for using a small electric motor. That's why he had
to pull off the track.

Joking aside, I couldn't see if he did have an electric drive on that
bike or not. His feet seemed to be moving far too fast for any normal
sort of derny setup, so I assume it was just human power.

Can't the LA velodrome afford a derny?

Yes, dear. A certain amount of leg pulling is going on. Go back to sleep,
dear, we'll wake you up when Sesame Street comes on.

That is a derny. It's electric. No IC allowed in
the building.
