Even more Track rubbish

Three posts in one day from the website that's already twenty days overdue on its promised monthly magazine review feature because its writers have been too busy to even read the magazines in question? Oh, go on then. But only because we might as well make the most of it if we're going to be spending the weekend in the velodrome instead of doing things that are actually important.
We had a really funny and clever story to tell, but we've completely forgotten what it was. Probably something to do with how much we want to see Yvonne Hijgenaar's knickers. Here's Chris Hoy instead.
This is the view from the media seating. No dancing girls, no x-ray specs. No anything other than a bench to pile your laptop (as well as your newspaper, binoculars and mobile phone in our case) on. Plus you have to sit next to the people from CyclingNews.com. Media accreditation official rating: 2/10
We had a brief game of "See how many cameramen you can photograph from behind before one of them notices". We managed one (1). This is the biggest disappointment of the whole World Cup round, for sure. Let us know how many photos you can manage.
MEDIA SCRUM. We tried to get one of those "Look at the stupid media, all standing in the same place, taking the same photograph" pictures that we're famous for, but we couldn't be bothered leaving our seat. One day we'll get an ironic photo of someone taking an ironic photo of the cycling media bunching together. One day.
Official rating
7/10. Good racing, but a bit hot and that. Not enough Theo Bos, either.
