Boy. Match sprinting sure has changed! When I was a match sprinter, we mounted our bikes on the line, and started when we were good and ready. We also used the whole track, and mostly rode against the railing. That allowed us to cut off the pass on the right, and made the most of the drop down the track to maximize acceleration. I could ride a whole lap looking behind me, and used the draft properly from the back position. I do admit, the times now are much faster! I was lucky to post a sub 12!
And now Kenny is the World Champ, what a joke Bauge should be banned.

@pegasus619Q Massive torque. Someone probably got injured using one system only, I'm guessing.

Weird set ups! Kenny rides the narrowest bar ive ever seen in track racing. And Bauge doesnt have straps. Or are they underneath the skins?

@eteokles3 No, Bauge has straps, you can see them when he holds up his bike toward the end

arklat, have a look at perkins vs kenny (semi final), Perkins leaves the right wide open and Kenny takes the match easily.
