Hello Velo Keirin pics, part 2
May 21st, 2007 |You saw the beautiful beginning, here is the ugly finish.
Phanna schools us all with an attack on the back straight. He would not be challenged for the balance of the race.
See ya dude, nice gap. The race is on for second place.
The National Champion leads Winger and Crosby with The Man in Black, The Puma and BD in the second group followed by Mehus.
One lap to go. It’s pretty much game over for The Puma.
Final result: Phanna, The National Champion, Winger, Crosby, BD, The Puma, The Man in Black and Mehus. It was at this point that I was wishing that I had not left my gear bag at home…
Thanks again JB!
I took the photo below from my superfan site. I don’t know who took it so I can’t give them credit for it.
It’s the Great Wall of Skibby.
Keirin is not just a physical game, it’s also a mental game. Here big Dave and The Puma are working on psyche-out by ignoring each other during the 1st heat. Once riders roll up onto the surface of the track all the humor and small talk go out the window. It’s all serious bidness. Good thing that Skibby was standing between Dave and I because if I would have looked over and seen that guy next to me I would have been frightened away.
