    Very nice, concise & clear. Good job mate.



  3. Raj Kumar on June 27, 2019 at 8:27 pm

    Very well explained. I liked the concept of riding in a group and the way the 1st rider moves back to conserve energy. Really a great scientific piece of information I learnt . Thank you.

    crown green bowls will be a good video



  5. Laurin Drescher on June 27, 2019 at 8:29 pm

    Thanks !



  8. Macdom on June 27, 2019 at 8:30 pm

    What happens if you unintentionally cross the cote d’azure? You’re eliminated, get a time penalty or what?



  9. Owen Chua on June 27, 2019 at 8:31 pm

    Road Cycling?



  10. xlink316 on June 27, 2019 at 8:35 pm

    Love this video! I want to give track a shot next season.



  11. avalanchesoul on June 27, 2019 at 8:38 pm

    These rules sound like the rules you make up when you’re a kid trying to invent games on the spot. Lol fuckin ridiculous.



  12. ARTISTIC-MELEE on June 27, 2019 at 8:39 pm

    Well done! thank you



  13. Ninh Ly on June 27, 2019 at 8:40 pm

    EDIT – I’ve been reliably informed that the Keirin is now just 6 laps, with the Derny pulling off after 3 laps. I must have used an old rulebook and/or footage.

    This is an extremely hard sport! I had tryouts at Manchester Velodrome when they were recruiting talent.
    There were some people I could never keep up with, no matter what I tried.
    I think at that elite level – you either have it or you don’t.

    I love velodrome racing
    The elimination race is certainly my favorite along with team pursuit and time trail.



  15. Embeh on June 27, 2019 at 8:41 pm

    how about the longest lap?



  16. Ben Brady on June 27, 2019 at 8:43 pm

    I will have lived after building a Nagasawa (proper) and finding a velodrome that’ll have me. Thank you for introducing me to another reason why bikes are awesome..



  17. John DeF on June 27, 2019 at 8:43 pm

    Gearing?



  18. Robert Jackson on June 27, 2019 at 8:47 pm

  22. The Catmother on June 27, 2019 at 8:54 pm

    That was awesome. I was watching European championships and found myself really confused at times.



  23. LemobeAn B on June 27, 2019 at 8:56 pm

    Great video really helps a roadie know what’s going on in a velodrome



  24. Karl Singleton on June 27, 2019 at 8:58 pm

  32. Ryan Houk on June 27, 2019 at 9:04 pm

    Do you think you could do the different rule sets of dodgeball? I have played one version and seen about five different forms and one of the one ones I didnt play seems like the best form



  33. GamingWithFun15 / GamingWithFunOffline on June 27, 2019 at 9:04 pm

    Awww, no Longest Revolution



  34. Greasy Boy on June 27, 2019 at 9:06 pm

    Yh mate real cool with all these games they play but quick question; how much travel have they got in both front and rear sus 😂😂 ?



  35. Mr xXx on June 27, 2019 at 9:07 pm

    а почему они такие мясистые??
    велосипедисты из турдефранс какие то конченные дрищи, как будто 5 лет в концлагерях провели



  36. Fishtown BikesnBeans on June 27, 2019 at 9:07 pm

    That was great!! Thanks for that info!



  37. 5.000 subscriptions with no videos on June 27, 2019 at 9:09 pm

    I ll stick with mountainbike



  38. lwvmobile on June 27, 2019 at 9:09 pm

    So, why is it exactly that women have fewer laps and shorter distances for? Seems kind of backwards nowadays. Nobody ever thought to modernize things and make it even?



  39. PUMA JPUMA on June 27, 2019 at 9:10 pm

    At 68 I’m getting ready to ride the track again. I haven’t been on since my late 20’s. This video made it all clear again and pumped up my confidence knowing I have the immediate information not to make a fool of myself. You want to increase your bike handling, leg speed, cardio, plus so much more… ride the track. It will make you a much better road rider.



  40. 00 goop on June 27, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    Yea?



  41. Solytix on June 27, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    Thank you for this very interesting video 😉



  42. Lord Shaxx on June 27, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    Woah slipstreaming on bikes thats awesome



  43. Carol Whittingham on June 27, 2019 at 9:15 pm

    Many thanks for the fab video. My Grandson is competing in an Omnium at the Manchester velodrome tomorrow. His first track competition. The information has helped me to understand the various events so much better.



  44. srinjoy bose on June 27, 2019 at 9:15 pm

  45. emmett villarreal on June 27, 2019 at 9:15 pm

    Rule number 3 don’t get caught
    Rule number 4 again don’t get caught.



  46. Hamad Al-Ghanem on June 27, 2019 at 9:18 pm
