My club is holding a madison on road in a couple of weeks, how does a race like this work?

cheers

If it is anything like the one on the track dangerously I would imagine, hand slings and all that type of thing. I suppose you could just run it like a two person relay on shortish laps or a specified change over point.

A specified change over point would defeat the whole tactical reasoning behind the madison.

If the circuits are very small, I imagine it will operate the same as a track.......certainly interesting to organise and take part in

Handslings, I hope it is a closed circuit.

Well thats what i thought, il ask someone from the club as im well confused.

turns out its just a tt but they pair up strong & weak riders and combine their time.

Much the same as a Grand Prix De Gents then.
