At least at the start, those track bike seem a lot slower than the roadies starting.
I mean, if a fixed gear is faster - why do all the crit guys start out shifting?
I think they need lower gears so that they're kind of moving while they get their clipless clicked in. At least that's what it looks like - I'm not as shifty as most of you guys so I can't say for sure.
