A photoreview of the Track World Championships

…because you definitely didn’t watch it on Eurosport two weeks ago. We’re only writing this to give the illusion that the site is still active, just scroll through to the bottom and it’ll all be over soon enough.


Every seat was filled in the super-duper new Palma Arena, despite what this picture might suggest. We only ever seem to take photos of velodromes when nobody is around.


Jamie Staff’s enormous legs official rating: 10/10


You can click this image for a 1024x768 version that’ll make an excellent background unless you’re one of those beardy types who runs a million-inch monitor and argues about whether Firefox is better than Opera. By providing downloadable content we’re probably fulfilling some kind of media remit for the whole year too, which would be nice.


Absolutely nobody was surprised by this one.


Erm… You guys can see that, right? Guys, turn around. Seriously guys, there’s something RIGHT THERE. Anyone? Someone PLEASE turn around.


Seriously, he’s right there in the middle of the crowd. Why can’t anybody see him? He really exists, we’re sure of it.


The last joke wasn’t really strong enough to finish on, so here's a woman from the crowd. She’s with some other man, but given the way she’s looking at that Spanish rider she’d probably be up for it. Dirty bitch.

Conclusion
10/10, since Britain won everything. But we’re tempted to knock a couple of points off because we couldn’t think of a better joke about the stupid mascot.


Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
