Chris Hoy pummeling the rest - world championship Keirin final 2010
Loading...
Uploaded by minnellium on Mar 25, 2010
Close at the finish line, but only on account of how he accelerated with 350 metres to go. I've watched loads of good sprints in my time; mostly all are exciting, but this came from being slightly boxed in with 500m to go. The acceleration is just so wonderful. Great effort by Azizulhasni Awang too but the boss is back

@yeagemk: I would say that if we only cared about athletic prowess, the sprint and kilo tt would be enough. Keirin is more than that, it is also about strategy and flair.

Annoying point about British riders; if they're Scottish, Welsh or NIish then they play on this, when they're English nothing is said. Me being pedantic but it always niggles me...

Chris Hoy may be faster, but I think the wins from other keirin giants like Hübner, Magné or Fiedler were more impressive and enjoyable.
Back in the days, they weren't slow, but I think the sport has lost some appeal with the increase of pure brute power of the top guys.

@TheFastTomi sure - Hübner in particular had panache and all sprints are fascinating in their own way - but you can't tell me there isn't something masterful and impressive about moving to the front so vehemently with more than 300m to go and riding without looking like you even expect to be beaten.

Watch out this little boy (azizul)... he's the next champion... I hope they will meet again in Final (sprint.)

Me too - superb to think of the tension that will build between Hoy and Azizul between now and London 2012 too... can't wait

You bet - he got so close and never gave up for a second - thrilling sprint.
