1. THE WINNING MOVE OF THE DECADE


    I know it’s old news now but…

    “I thought I’ll give it a go and I breathed in, shut my eyes and went through the gap.” Sir Chris Hoy, Keirin World Champion. Seriously did that with his eyes closed. I love Hoy’s parents’ reaction in the upper left corner of this video. Priceless.

  3. REVOLUTION 36 


    Last weekend was the 36th event in Manchester Velodrome’s Revolution Series and it looks like a huge crowd turned out to see some true track racing. Head over to British Cycling’s Flickr to see the rest of the set.

  4. WORLD CUP ASTANA: HOY v. DMITRIEV Still not too much media coming out of last weekend’s UCI World Cup event in Kazakhstan but this shot pretty much sums it up. Sir Chris Hoy nips Russian challenger Denis Dimitriev to the line in the Sprint final. Photo found on Domestique. P.S. Anyone who looks at this photo and calls it even, take a look at where the front wheels are in contact with the track surface in relation to the finish line. It may be just a few millimeters but that’s how races are won at the velodrome.

  5. The general rule of thumb is, if you’re not hurting you’re probably not doing it right.

  6. OH HEY HOW YA DOIN’ CHRIS?


    I love this clip from ChRobin’s trip to the Manchester Velodrome with his Graeme Obree tribute bike. Here we are chatting with Jan Van Eijden and that Flying Scotsman and check who walks in! The look on Chris Robin’s face is priceless.

  7. LEGENDARY RIVALRIES: HOY vs. TOURNANT


    Four years ago today, Chris Hoy attempted to break the Kilometer World Record at a high-altitude track in La Paz, Bolivia. The record was ridden by French track cyclist Arnaud Tournant at 58.875 seconds and set at the same track. Tournant’s amazing record-breaking ride was the first recorded Kilo TT to come in under a minute.

    On May 12th of 2007, Hoy rode his Kilo attempt in 59.103 seconds. The second Kilo time ever recorded under a minute — but he did not break Tournant’s World Record. Amazingly, he returned to the track the very next day to try it again…

    To this day there have only been three Kilo TT’s recorded under the minute mark — and it’s excruciating how close the top two are. Watch Hoy’s second ride to see just how close the margin is that separates these two track legends.
