That's crazy - some of those track riders must have to get themselves worked right up and aggressive, especially for the short sprint races.

On a less aggressive note - I caught a few minutes of the World Track champs last week and was watching the girlies doing short sprints, and in one of the finals there was a real fight for first - very exciting.

At the end of a race the riders often shake hands ect while they're still going round, but these 2 girls not only shook hands, they also gave each other a kiss on the lips, while still spinning round at the end. I just couldn't believe the skill & bike handling these track riders must have - the commentator, a guy who rides the track himself was also impressed and said just how good these riders are.

It was also really cool - before and during the race they're bitter enemies, but once it's all over there's so much respect for each other and comradship
