    RE: 70 kph isn't 45 mph though

    I'm at a loss as to why you want to argue the point. The simple fact is that riders in the Keirin do not reach speeds of 50 mph which is an incredible speed and way beyond them. They certainly aren't at anywhere near 50 mph when the motorcyclist releases them which was the original point.

    If you want, to make you happy, I will say that they reach speeds of 50 mph. It's not in any way true, but if you want me to say it for you I will.

    btw

    The 70 kph thing is rounded up. It's rare if ever that any cyclist on the track gets to speeds of above 40 mph.

    I've never said they reach 50mph, I said they wouldn't be far off. 45mph isn't far off in my book. Agreed that they aren't paced at anywhere near that though.</p>
