1. QUINN vs. JACK What an awesome shot captured by Pat Benson. This was the result of the Match Sprint between Quinn Hatfield and Jack Lindquist last Saturday at Encino Velodrome. Seems like it was a prety awesome race and I wish I saw it in person but at least we can watch Jack’s GoPro footage. Full race results have been posted HERE.

  2. CADBURY CREME SPRINT: GOO FOR THE WIN


    Totally speechless but this really made my day! Can somebody check with a UCI official if that move in the final sprint is even legal?

    Looks like fun? Check out the Cadbury Goo Games on Facebook.

  3. ANALYSIS OF A SPRINT


    Mark Buckaway has been shooting POV track footage up at Forest City Velodrome for a while now. In his latest video, Mark narrates a Match Sprint between him and Jim Morrow.

    Since the track is so short — 138 meters, the shortest velodrome in North America — the Match Sprint is five laps long and the sprint is often engaged with two laps to go. Must be pretty crazy to hit those turns at speed — just look how steep those banks are!

    Mark cites Victoria Pendleton as his sprinting inspiration. The only diference is Vicky would usually win… except if she’s up against Anna Meares.

    Thanks for sharing, Mark!

  4. ELITE NATS: PHOTO FINISH Giddeon Massie (#44) beat Matt Baranoski (#54) to the line in the 1/8 round of Sprints this morning. Massie will be moving on to the quarter finals while Baranoski still has a chance to make it back into the tournament if he wins in the Repechage round. Finals will be contested this evening.

  5. VICTORIA PENDLETON ON THE MATCH SPRINT


    Found this to be pretty cool. Vicky Pendleton drops basic strategies on how to win a Match Sprint. Definitely worth a watch even if it’s not exactly something anyone can cover in a 3-minute video — at the Intro To Track Racing class, we’ll spend a 3-hour session on Match Sprints and still just scratch the surface.

  6. WORLD CHAMPS - WOMEN’S SPRINT FINAL


    In the final heat against Simona Krupeckaite, Anna Meares proves that she’s a force to be reckoned with. This sprint victory has been a long time coming and she earns it with style and grace. Look how smooth she is on the bike while outpowering her opponent.

  7. 1931 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SPRINT FINISH A dramatic charge to the line between Denmark’s Willy Falk-Hansen (left) and France’s Lucien Michard (right). The judges erroneously awarded the victory (and World Champion title) to Falk-Hansen even though we can plainly see that Michard crossed the line first. That dude must’ve been bummed! A great piece of history found on Erik Wiersma’s Flickr.
