Bruce, it sees all of your "added" words as one word
because you didn’t add a space between them.

Zoe, thanks for the company, I'm also a rookie with
track racing, but it looks pretty cool.

Universal Sports had the track worlds last year (all sessions) and it was great fun to watch
no such luck this year :-(

Brits wouldn't target the kilo anyway
They’ve admitted their track program is based on the Olympic events. So I doubt that they’re weeping real tears.

true, but "only" 1 gold so far,
that’s surprising

from Cycling Weekly:
We’re scrabbling through our record books but we think that Nimke’s time has broken Sir Chris Hoy’s sea-level world record, which was set in Athens in 2004.

according to our commenatators, it's not.
But they also predicted Taylor to brake Boardmans record, so………

Ha! I gapped Bruce.

Someone needs to make Phinney start a road program in a couple years
I’d hate him to go Bos and lose some valuable years of experience at Flanders.
by Softie on Mar 27, 2009 3:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he posted on twitter about choosing between road and track cycling
asked his followers which they’d choose.

I love track
but he’s now achieved half of the everlasting glory one can achieve on it. And he’s too young for the hour record. So he should definitely be racing the U23 Flanders and Roubaix next year.
by Softie on Mar 27, 2009 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm fairly sure he's racing U23 Flanders and Roubaix *this year*
Article I read yesterday said he was staying in Europe for those.

1:00.711 is the old record---looks like it's been beaten if this is sea level
Sorry, Sir Chris.

From Cycling Weekly:
Mulder set off very fast and was inside Nimke after 250m. Still faster after 500m, but then was outside Nimke and quickly faded away. The pressure of trying to beat Nimke’s time lured many riders into setting out too fast at a pace they could not sustain.

And here I was going to blame the Cigarette Smoking Man.

Nimke:
“After 2003 when I won the worlds, I was asked if I retire, no, I continued to work hard”
He was way above the rest today, impressive.
His legs look MASSIVE, almost bigger than Sir Hoy’s!
Taylor getting loud cheers, looks pretty happy

Nimke broke the record
Confirmation that Nimke’s time was a new sea-level world record, and a little nugget of information that explains why everyone seemed to fade against his time.
by Bruce Suomi on Mar 27, 2009 3:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
cont...
Nimke rode a bigger gear than is conventional and started out slow but finished very fast. He was 12th fastest after lap one, sixth fastest after lap two and in the lead by three-quarter distance.

np, glad someone reads this
Thanks for the comapany Zoe and Softie! :)
That’s a wrap, more tomorrow! Have a good night/day/morning everyone!

Huge thanks for the chatter Bruce!
I am going to be at a race all day tomorrow so I hope you guys can chatter about tomorrow too. I’m very tiffed that it seems CTV had it on the list and when I went to look at on demand the other night there was nothing. So not happy with that.
I’m hoping that Colby and Daniel can get top 5 in the Madison. I think that would be a really good finish for them. :-) They’re up against pretty much a similar group that they had been racing in the last few 6 days they did. Good Luck to them!!!!
