Tickets are several times more expensive than I paid for the Los Angeles World Cup earlier this year.

Mathilde Gros (FRA) simply came out of nowhere and is killing it in sprint events.

Yeah, but weren't those Jr World Championships earlier this year? hahaha

Her first Jr. World Championship was just over 2 months ago. She won Jr. Euro Championship Sprint and 500M in 2016.

Even then, that doesn't guarantee success at the Sr. level. Most Jr. World Champs still have a hard time competing against seniors.

Gros just won 3rd in Sprints after qualifying 3rd with a 10.739 in her first ever World Cup. She just won a ticket to World Championships and valuable Olympic points.

Not bad.

We’ll be there for the Friday evening session. It’s going to be one of the last major events there before the track is relaid.

WaltersCardigan 11-06-17 10:04 AM

Friday tickets now 2 for 1. (Ticketmaster Code AD241) Lots of spaces especially on Friday AM session.


Great that we get a new track to play on. Downside is 12 weeks of closure come March 18.

Yikes.

Any video of the crash? I'm hoping that it wasn't her inexperience that led to the wreck.

Wow. That's messed up. I hope she heals up fast. I'm excited to see what she can do in the future.

I can’t be he only person from watching that could sense Shulika was starting to tire and lose control before the crash?

Did you check out the UCI YouTube channel?

carleton 11-11-17 12:39 PM

The Dutch sprinters in in full force (National Team and BEAT Cycling).

Also Philip Hindes is coming along as a Match Sprinter.

Who says that 33cm sprint bars are too small for Madison throws:

I was able to watch the Womens Omnium points race on YouTube. Granted, I think it's in Polish.


SPOILERS IN THE TITLE! Same for that accounts other videos, just beware.

Glaetzer with the first sub 60sec kilo at sea level, in good form at the moment

Yeah, that's nuts.

He's using that super deep position:

From this camera angle, that position looks suspiciously like the forbidden "superman" position. Any one got any pics from the side?

pierrej 11-12-17 10:05 PM

Other pictures I've seen he doesn't look as far forward, but I've yet to see any from the side

Baby Puke 11-12-17 10:39 PM

As he's already huge, how is he not way outside the UCI box here?
