@dnm25 that little thing on the back of his saddle is a SRM head. That is a computer unit that registers the rider power output, heart rate, cadence, speed etc. The power is sent from strain gauges in the crank spider and measured in Watts.
These monsters put out well over 2000 Watts of power in the sprints - do you know what this is? Thats enough to run all the lights in a modern medium sized home, power a small kettle and fire up a hair dryer
Ive been inspired by beijing and london. I really want to start track cycling but I dont really know how to get started. I'd love some advice on how to get into it. My closest velodrome is Manchester. I'm aware im slightly old to start thinking im going to be an olympic champion, 16 years, but i've done a lot of road and off road cycling since the age of 8. Doing long 30-40 mile rides some weekends. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thankyou!
Keirin is what makes track cycling understandable and spectacular even for outsiders. It should be the main focus of all competitions. So there should be two, tree or more keirin BMI-classes. (body mass index) This way you measure height/muscle-relation and can put fair classes together. for example: class over BMI 25 (the original track sprinters), class BMI 22-25 (road sprinters), class under BMI 22 (enduros)
thanks for posting!! Is this the same Chris Hoy that was winning like 10-12 years ago? and is still winning? If so Wow talk about talor made for this racing.
@peteallez hi there smart pants. you select a gear to race in. Each bike will have a specific gear ratio. I'm wondering how his ratio compared to the others. He looked comfortable and didn't spin out, since he went way faster I'm thinking he had a higher gear ratio: requiring more force, which clearly he has plenty of.
@WeAre4EverUnited its one of the best 1 manned vehicles out on the road geared bikes or just a single speed like this where you cant stop peddling all great machines im sure you would love it just like me
This game is essentially all about the sprint. just stay back in 4th or 5th so that you get no air resistance and then pump your thick thigh muscle to win the race
@@Stanced965 Well, I don't have a working bicycle anymore, but I tried riding an electric bike for the first time, about a year or two ago, however the motor broke down, and the "experiment" failed. I ride a Razor EcoSmart Metro electric scooter now, if you can call that "riding"...
@gaz545 I thought he had lost it/ let Awang in; how wrong was I. It was blistering; actualy I think it was so fast that it might of contributed to the crash through the WTF factor!
If you've ever seen Nascar, the cars have to follow behind a "lead" car for at least a lap or so, the same goes with track cycling, they have to follow behind a "lead" cyclist for a few laps..I'm not sure why they do this, but maybe it's just to give the cyclists a couple warm-up laps to get a feel for the track and get loose before they start racing..
Nope, nobody wants to be in front. You can't see your competitors behind you. So you could be going full pelt for 8 laps while your competitors are going at a slower pace but conserving their energy and then all of a sudden they come flying past you with a lap or two to go. It's all tactics, alot more technical than people think
why is that i call it the pace bike ... why he still in the race ??? i was thinking okay after a lap he was going to just pull to the side and the race starts ... but they keep fallowing him lol ....
Dato Azizul Hasni Awang is the best 👍🏻❤️
NASCAR with bikes.
@dnm25 that little thing on the back of his saddle is a SRM head. That is a computer unit that registers the rider power output, heart rate, cadence, speed etc. The power is sent from strain gauges in the crank spider and measured in Watts.
he is just so fast , hes one of my favorite rider
thnks bro
These monsters put out well over 2000 Watts of power in the sprints - do you know what this is? Thats enough to run all the lights in a modern medium sized home, power a small kettle and fire up a hair dryer
it is freaking insane.
That's only 2.7 horsepower.
thanks so much Quinn :D you have a blessed day
Holy shit.... Best racing sport ive ever seen, so much intensity!

I think aziz awang deserves some more praise here
He got a 10 inch spike through his leg after the crash and still finished 3rd.....
Definitely
What's the best track wheels for use outside of the velodrome?
Miche?

GOAT video
Well said, Sir!
@HLaB75 have you seen the aftermath and the splinter?
Awesome.
I like the pace bike in front...does it have a motor?
@peteallez hi there smart pants. you select a gear to race in. Each bike will have a specific gear ratio. I'm wondering how his ratio compared to the others. He looked comfortable and didn't spin out, since he went way faster I'm thinking he had a higher gear ratio: requiring more force, which clearly he has plenty of.
So fast the turbulence of his wake causes crashes; Hoy is a beast.
can someone please explain to me the reason for the moped?
ok thanks for the advice!
了不起~~ 佩服佩服!真不愧是世界冠軍
OWNED
first time watching track cycling.... seems pretty legit...
That moped always wins and the smug git always makes it look so easy too!
Damn! these guys were going almost 45 mph. This very cool!
woooooooooops!!!!!!
Amazing chris hoy
@WeAre4EverUnited its one of the best 1 manned vehicles out on the road geared bikes or just a single speed like this where you cant stop peddling all great machines im sure you would love it just like me
What are the rules in track cycling? can you explain it to me ?
@HariVIyer Yes and it travels 45kmh
Was that a Leader frame?
wow that's absolutley awesome! 2:35 is crazy
how big is their gear ratios?
@bloozn69plus1 its like 96"-92" I think
That was actually pretty intense.
This sport takes serious leg power plus mental fortitude.
and cardio
Haha cardio?? no pal, it really doesnt. A kilo, yes, but match sprinting or keirin, no, not really.
Yeah, and it also stops the race becoming a six-up match sprint, leaaving some speed to keep it interesting.
can any body tell y there is guy cycling in the front at the start
@bloozn69plus1 I would guess they are pushing a 56-12 or 56-11. Not sure though.
what is the point to play follow the leader for like 4 laps?
so who is the second?
This game is essentially all about the sprint. just stay back in 4th or 5th so that you get no air resistance and then pump your thick thigh muscle to win the race
Hey found this in my fyp
Jees, that crash....!!!! Did it take every rider down?
@dnm25 its a track bike- it doesn't have gears...
A win is awesome but I hope those guys were ok...
Hoy owns this event
Kind of a warm up?
Hoy is a machine! :O :)
I would LOVE to play THIS sport, as much as I like to watch it! Where can I go to race bicycles on a track here in the States?!
Hey are you still riding
@@Stanced965 Well, I don't have a working bicycle anymore, but I tried riding an electric bike for the first time, about a year or two ago, however the motor broke down, and the "experiment" failed. I ride a Razor EcoSmart Metro electric scooter now, if you can call that "riding"...
@@GaylordCohen but did you try to race with road bikes something like in the vid
@@Stanced965 No, I never did, but this video is still a fascinating "window" into this exciting sport. Take care, and thanks for asking.
@@GaylordCohen keep safe sir thanks too hope you still love riding bikes
@dnm25 ah i see what you were trying to say, yeah his legs are massive could have been a high gear ratio
70 km/h?! Now that's really fast.
@HariVIyer yes
He's the pace setter, i guess its just how keirin race's start, instead of a standing start
:D its all good :D you to bro
the pace bike is just too funny...
what is the ratio of those bikes?
possibly 3.6
this is my first time ever even hearing about this. but why does an official lead the pack the first couple of laps?
it's a 33cm alpina carbon track drop.
The adrenaline people!! Man I'm a fixie rider too😂
@spoung45a Yip, just check out the vid - Awang's Splinter ;-)
I must admit like the commentators however, I missed it the first time!
Hoy isn't even human. Neither are his doctors.
the reason why it gets exciting is because of the fast acceleration after the lead bike gets off of the course
I am not familiar with this why does that green bike in the front lead them for so long?
Jason kenny is a 300cc engine on a bicycle.
wow
Keirin 2011 final
@munchbox1995 Its main job is to set the pace for the riders.
And also, why can't you pass the Derny?
World Cup and World Championship = Big Difference
... did you notice the LOL on the end of my comment ?
@gaz545 I thought he had lost it/ let Awang in; how wrong was I. It was blistering; actualy I think it was so fast that it might of contributed to the crash through the WTF factor!
holy shit this is intense!!
i want tat fixed gear
except this has been around longer....
Some of those looked like hold fast straps

43.7 mph
@catalyst216 wow thanks, now i get it :D
It was last man cycling! :D
Why is it necessary for the Derny to be there? Like, why do they need to be paced?
If Nascar had a 8 lap sprint race then yes it would be :)
Nope, nobody wants to be in front. You can't see your competitors behind you. So you could be going full pelt for 8 laps while your competitors are going at a slower pace but conserving their energy and then all of a sudden they come flying past you with a lap or two to go.

Oddly enough the pace bike does have a gas engine. They need to maintain a consistent speed. But they could do that with an electric bike.
to conserve energy
I always wonder about the exaust in the face of the guy behind the journeyman
haha was he the only one that finished?
Why is that one dude wearing a road helmet?!
This is the world cup, its different to the world championships.
Anyone notice how ridiculously narrow Hoy's handlebars are?
rules bro
why is that i call it the pace bike ... why he still in the race ??? i was thinking okay after a lap he was going to just pull to the side and the race starts ... but they keep fallowing him lol ....
It looks like one of the guys is trying to skid
making sure you dont get boxed in, if you do you're screwed
Let this be a lesson: Don't try to hold Chris Hoy's wheel.
wtf is that pace bike? is it electric or something? why so odd?
old lad was doing well for ages
Thats what I call the last man standing lol
