I love the keirin! First time I've seen it and it's really exciting stuff... except for the races that Hoy's in because he's just blitzing it!!

As usual, you can always rely on wiki!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirin

.....cheers Dayvo....just that wiki isn't always as informative as you guys when it comes to the world of 'two wheels'..........

Is Burke riding a Brooks saddle?

Why did the 5th guy come off in the 2nd Keirin? although it gave me a chance to appreciate how steep it banks. And why use wood if its going to give them bad splinters... would there not be better surfaces? (Speaking as someone new to all this).
