Scratch race, Points Race or Madison (which is like the Points race only it's a relay, in teams of two).Originally posted by ChesterDave View PostOk, Cycling fans - what event am I thinking off where there are dozens of riders sprinting and trying to make laps?
None of them feature in the Olympics in their own right. But the Scratch and Points both feature in the Omnium competition..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

Aye. And all the top players have big egos.Originally posted by Reece View PostTo be fair, I think it would be hard for anyone who becomes the best ever (arguably) in a certain field, to not get a bit of an ego.
Nice story anyway Neil.

Yes, probably. Although I'd say it might be the other way around, at least as far as sport is concerned - it's hard to become the best if you don't have a bit of an ego to start with.Originally posted by Reece View PostTo be fair, I think it would be hard for anyone who becomes the best ever (arguably) in a certain field, to not get a bit of an ego.
I thought what the reporter said about Federer was interesting. He's charming, approachable and friendly but also has a big ego. It's a rare combination, except maybe for politicians..

The individual sprint.Originally posted by Rich View PostWhat's the competition which is a bit cat and mouse with both cyclists going as slow as possible before one makes a mad dash for the line?
Love that one.
Baugé versus Kenny would be a great final..
