I suppose if people are super paranoid about pulling out, they could go back to the first clipless pedals ever made (Cinelli?) that required you to be screwed into the pedal. Part of the reason for...

As far as I can remember, you can get a reride for a legitimate mishap. Did the refs mention a change in UCI rules?

I'd be shaking in my boots taking all that stuff. I used NSF certified Creatine out of competition (4 weeks) last year but I decided it's not worth the risk.

If you launch your attack with about 1000m remaining (give or take a few hundred meters), you'll get plenty of experience of riding in the field.

None. I'll get some efforts in naturally during some of my rides, but no formal intervals. The break is psychological as much as it is physiological.

As for stiffness, until it's tested we don't know what's stiff and what is not. For example, every Japanese rider I know claims that frames get softer as they get older/used. But all science...

I actually think a lot is about tradition. A pursuiter is going to most likely be faster WITHOUT straps -- probably on the order of 2-8w. You'd think that the equipment choices of top level...

It's really personal preference, but in a good exchange the two bikes lean away from each other so the bodies can be as close as possible. Generally, the closer the center of mass of the two riders...

Throwing up is not that uncommon -- especially in the early season. A PB of 1:06 is very impressive -- even if it were from a rolling start. 4 x 1km is a tough workout.

Question here: Does anyone make track cranksets (144bcd) that are shorter than 165mm? I see some BMX / fixie type, but a quick look comes up pretty empty.
