So eyes peeled, and who knows the new Zipp wheels may turn up there
I believe the rules are being interpreted that the constituent parts of the finished track bikes for the Olympics don't have to be getting run together to count.
Also, not everyone in a team needs to be on them for it to count either, I'm lead to think.
It'll take eagle eyes to spot who is running the new frames/bars/wheels etc.
