She's been setting WRs in training in Bordeaux for weeks. I told you she was brick ****house! Quite a build on her from the earlier track photos I saw this year. I saw quite a pair of legs on that girl, including the attached hip! |

Any idea how those times compare to what she just clocked in Athens? (There's quite a window between 3:30-ish and 3:24.) I'm curious because it might give some feel for just how fast the Athens track was. Andy Coggan |

I'm curious because it might give some feel for just how fast the Athens track was. I'd have to guess since nobody has said for sure yet. A friend was with the team in Limoux and the nudge-wink then (end July) was "under 3:30". My guess would be on 3:26-3:27 based on the 55kph cruise speed that we also heard about (3:24 is 52.8kph average, from standing start; the splits above indicate 55kph for km 2 and slightly slower for km 3). Bordeaux is still a very fast track; only variable to Athens I guess would be the humidity (Athens reported to be very dry heat the day of the pursuit qualifiers and final.) |

Here is an article about why the Athens track is so fast.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004...es/aug21humidi ty Interesting to note that most fast tracks are indoors and avoid any wind but their air-conditioned air is cooler and dryer than the hot humid (faster) air that is in place in the Athens Velodrome. The Athens wood has also been dried completely by Athens' hot summer so the surface is fast too. -WG |
