    For those of us not watching, why did the bike at the front make you laugh? And what did she do that you've never seen before?

    I know it's sad but it infuriates me. Her name is Victoria Pendleton. Just write her name, it's not hard!

    every one does it.
    People dont say team Great Britain they say Team GB.
    On a tracksuit it doesnt say Steve Clark for example. It says SC

    As the BBC bloke said, it looks like someone delivering a pizza on a scooter.

    What I didn't know until a few years ago is that keirin racing is massively popular in Japan, with regular events and a plenty of betting.

    Perhaps keirin is to the Japanese what horse/greyhound racing is to the British? Maybe someone on the BBS has spent some time over there and can tell us more?

    Ace, the way it was raced. In a way way it was a bit like watch a house race over 1.2 mile. Sit in behind pace maker and then press the boost button.

    What made me laugh, that pace bike.

    Thanks Phil, I didn't see it so was curious about what you saw. I really like Victoria Pendleton but that's another story.

    She did well. Broke a bit earlier than the others thought and made the others go round her.
