Chris Hoy Vs Kevin Serau - Gold Medal Race 2008

Running aerospokes? Dirty fucking hipsters.

[Spencerlestiadi]

@joehassmallarms those ain't aerospokes. Those are Mavic iO 's...

[wayfarin]

not to mention these extreme gear ratios don't lend themselves to fast acceleration.

[ttr15]

to be honest the frog had no chance

the guy behind the rider infront uses 30% LESS energy to do the same speed, so the final corner, the guy behind has extra speed waiting, so you want to be behind until the final corner.

[DoctorNumber46]

it's a tactical race dude, timing is essential. if they both start sprinting then one of them will draft behind the other guy and kick his ass in the last 50m cuz he'll have been saving 40% of his energy.

i dont get this why they go so slow then speed up - why not just fast straight away

[mcclammer]

If you have the patience, this is a pretty good sprint match. It explains the rules and the strategy in the first two laps. watch?v=BkkTSVVrPYk

Also, not my video, just a good match, and good commentary.

@superdave31 they're riding fixed gear?

[superdave31]

@MrTheGremlin no i mean slow as in they go round the circle slow for say 4 times then out of no where go like lightning
