Six day London - Derny Race

Great Evening at the Olympic Velodrome watching day 4 of the six day racing. Track cycling events are a bit bonkers. The Derny race where each rider is paced by an old guy sitting knees sticking out on motorised bicycle buzzing round.  The elimination race which is kind of a sprint from the back to avoid elimination. The sprint where the riders come to a stop for 5 mins. The Madison where 2 riders slingshot each other and try to take a lap off the peloton, while also competing for intermediate sprints, but after about 10 mins you have no idea what the hell is going on. Fantastic. Maybe one day I will even understand it
