World records just aren't exciting in cycling. Not when its broken every day

[RoadEnd]

5 consecutive WRs in 5 consecutive rides

[Reece]

What on earth is this race about?

[Shaggy]

How fast is Jason Kenny?!

[ChesterDave]

5 consecutive WRs in 5 consecutive rides

Baffling that they got away with being so lazy 6 races ago

[Shaggy]

This 'sprint' is so weird ....what's the point in all that slo-mo stuff to begin with?

[Reece]

That's what I don't get? My Google search hasn't been too helpful really.

[Reece]

I think someone described it as cat and mouse earlier in the thread and that's definitely a good description!

[ChesterDave]

I just heard the commentator say the person who initiates the sprint has to stay inside the red line so I suppose there is the tactical element in it. How it works out for you though... pass
edit: Hmm, listening again after it suddenly became an issue it seems it is once the sprint is initiated, not necessarily the person that starts it

I could watch that German tennis player all day she is tasty.

[Shaggy]

This cat and mouse stuff is laugh out loud funny. PMSL. Stalking each other as slowly as humanly possible ....it reminds me of two cats before their fight starts .....moving as slowly as possible before the mayhem

[ChesterDave]

Oh **** off. THe Aussie has been let off the hook there.

[Reece]

It's enjoyable though.
